Quenelle or not to Quenelle?! that is the question……if you cant do it properly its not worth the attempt

That’s way too much effort plating to just slop down a quenelle like that. Rethink the plating of the apples, less crumble under the sorbet, and maybe just less of everything. That cake slice is massive, as is the quenelle. The flavors sound good, it was a good take, but I think you’re trying some fine dining plating without the fine dining experience. Work on your skills. Grab yourself a tub of crisco and practice some quenelles while watching a movie or something. You can get good really quickly. You may need to let the sorbet temper a bit too, or look at the recipe. It looks pretty solid.
