I foraged some stinging nettles and blended them along with some spinach (for a bit more color) into a cake and crumbled that to serve along with the blackberry mousse and pistachio crumble. Garnished with whole and sliced blackberries, piped jam and lemon gel as well as some lemon verbena leaves, calendula petals, and pansy petals from my garden.

    How did you manage to keep the cake so vibrant colour, mine always tint to brown after cooking

    Absolutely stunning. The color story, the nod to nature, the flavor combinations, all spectacular. Brava

    A little busy but pretty nonetheless. It looks like your elements are tight so visually less is more, let em pop

    dude(tte), i love your work. ive seen a few of your other posts and im always super impressed with your photos (and the sheer number of dishes you must own). Can you say more about your lighting setups?

    That’s so beautiful, I’d eat it every day. I don’t even care how it tastes.

    Idk if you’d care to post there, but r/ElvenFood would love this

    the nettle and spinach combo is such a smart move, those garden garnishes really pull it all together and make it feel complete instead of just pretty for the sake of it.
