With game season upon us, we have pan-seared pigeon breast with charred red chicory, crispy kale, silky beetroot purée, caramelised peach, and fresh blackberries.
Looks lovely, nice grill marks on the chicory. What’s in the sauce under the pigeon?

Took me way too long to realize what the pigeon was. On my small screen with the kale sitting on it, I thought it was a dark roasted carrot 🤦♂️

Add another piece of pigeon. The kale, berries and peach are all in 3’s.

Are you braising the chicory before or just simply grilling it?

That is a big ol’ chunk of chicory. Not sure it’s proportionally quite right with the amount of pigeon and everything else. Also is that top blackberry a little underripe? Looks a bit pale. Otherwise it looks stunning. Beautiful green splashes of kale in particular.

Braise then grill the endive. No one wants to eat a wedge of that raw and undressed. Maybe try to make other components tie in more. You have two autumn greens, blackberry, peach, and beet. Besides the endive everything looks good and they’re all good ingredients. It just needs to tie together more or stick to a season a little more closely.

I love me some endive, but it shouldn’t dominate the plate like this.
Crispy kale seems like it would be tasty here, but it looks like parsley in the photo.

It look like a grilled insect
I’m not trying to be mean, it’s just what I see on the plate
