Playing with some savory flavors. Thyme butter cake, butter cracker crémeux, thyme cracker crunch, thyme caramel apples + jam, apple gel, and apple powder.

    I think leaning into more savory, and using some cheese could be fun. It’s giving me some guava and quince vibes. Makes me think of warm brie

    I’d be excited if someone brought me this plate.

    I think that for as refined as the dish is shooting for the naked cake top doesn’t jive for me. It is a very tan and beige plate. I also think there’s an excess of “dry“ textures. I think something like a red wine gelee over the top of the cake, or a fana of sliced poached pear, or caramelized plum etc would add juicy succulence and color.

    I’m not sure if you were going for “cute” but I think this js a really cute and playful dish!

    Perfect balance of intention and interest, good technique and execution, without being pretentious. It looks so inviting! I like the plain beige look of the dish. It doesn’t come off as bland or boring but as cozy comfort. This fireside, in the fall with a warm spiced apple cider.

    I probably would have used a sprig of the thyme for the green or left that garnish out entirely, but that’s just personal.

    Looks good, a bit monotone though. Maybe some thyme and or apple w/skin for color?
