Would love to get some recommendation on cookbooks/blogs about plating basics and overall philosophy about it, as this was my first attempt and I find it pretty exciting.

  1. Nearly googled ā€œtoutā€… looks great op! Edit:
    Tout- the frisbee shaped fruiting body of the low lying shrub ā€˜toutious toutae’ endemic to the NE Andes.

  2. I think the placement of the radish could be a little more “natural,” aka haphazard, or it could be left off altogether. Other than that, I dig it.

  3. The ratio of potato to trout is way off, don’t need nearly that much mash. Add more radish but don’t arrange it quite so deliberately. Pretty composition otherwise.

    What’s the point of the radish? It doesn’t complement the flavor profile of a veloutĆ©, or dill, or zucchini. The whole thing is has a really strange proportionality to it.

    That is quite a lot of potato…is it a potato dish or a tout dish? (You could still edit the post to say trout)Otherwise a very pretty plate that a lot of my chefs would be proud of plating wise…

    I love the mashed plating. I agree with some other posters that it’s a lot, portion wise. Anything less would have made the mashed cold really quickly, though.
    I just haven’t seen this shape made with mashed before, and for such a common plate component, it is refreshing to see something cool!
