Candied Pork Belly (thinly sliced), Shiitake Mushrooms, Woodear Mushroom, Lotus Root, and Dandelion Greens w/ Black Garlic Sauce

Relatively new to plating. Wanted to go for a more “woodsy” feel for this one hence my usage of pork and these veggies along with the black garlic sauce.

Manicotti pasta stuffed with butternut squash, with a smoked tomato and brown butter sauce, topped with mushrooms sautéed in white wine.

Sorry I had to delete the post earlier as I made some errors in my caption and was unable to edit. The Parmesan Romano I used could’ve used a little lighter hand. Sorry about the double post, but thank you all for the feedback I am learning so much from the subreddit and its community

Sticky bourbon porkbelly, with ginger soy green beans, jasmine rice, pickled carrots, spicy honey and soy sauce drops.

I wanted to play with height on this dish and really enjoyed all the flavors. Next time I would eliminate the herb garnish as it wasn’t needed and a last minute decision. Also the green beans on the side fell and landed like that so I decided to keep it.

Steak + salad

Wanted to share a plate up I did at home a few sundays ago when I was cleaning out our fridge + cook for the girl. Hope it gives some inspo.

Its basically a sirloin ( I believe it was) that was cooking utilising the 30 second method and I think I had some chermoula/chimmi-esq condiment leftover so I drizzled some of it while it rested. Then its just thinly sliced fruits and veg on their last leg and a little tomato oil. + Maldon. It was a really good meal!

Creamy mushroom risotto with duck breast and some balsamic glaze

I am working on my plating and I made this the other day. Really proud of how it turned out! Tasted amazing and is one of the best looking dishes I ever made.

Tips and constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.

Ps: don't mind the overcooked duck. I took it off the stove, put it in the oven to finish it off and forgot to look at the time so I just guesstimated and was off by one or two minutes.
