  1. this looks absolutely delicious and i love the presentation and i would seriously order this tonight if i could!

  2. What type of spoon were you using for your quenelles?

    When I first started learning to make quenelles I made the mistake of using the wrong shape of spoon. I practiced for hours and only got a few good ones. I tried a colleagues special quenelle spoon a week later and found a massive improvement.

    I’m here to discuss your quenelle and understand what sort of military engagement you must have been in for it to have resulted in that

    Temper your sorbet my guy. See where your warm spots are in the freezer, and put it there before service. You have a good bit of leeway between “warmed up enough to be easy to work with” and “going to melt after hitting the plate”

  5. Did you get my invite to dinner at my house? It’s pot-luck and we need you to bring the dessert.

    I realize this isn’t at all what you’re going for, but I just had a thought. A single pear shape constructed out of a half of a poached pear and a molded half-pear shape of pear sorbet, standing perfectly upright on the plate. If you’re maxboon or something, then you’d also have the whole thing coated with a perfectly uniform thin glaze shell that cracks open satisfyingly when you touch it with a spoon, and you’d skip the crumble and cheesecake. Or you’d fill the cheesecake into the cavity of the pear where the seeds were.

  7. Looks and sounds delicious! Maybe it’s just Thanksgiving on the brain, but the second pic kinda looks like a roasted turkey.

  8. Looks really good, I might suggest doing multiple thin circles with the syrup instead of one thick circle. It’s a little easier to do and will give a nicer end product. Great job.

    Nice effort chef. Looks fantastic. Once you get the mechanics down. Top notch! Be proud chef.
