Pan-seared duck breast with cauliflower purée, carrot purée, and duck jus reduction with red wine, finished with parsley oil and lamb’s lettuce (mâche). Cooked the duck a bit more than I intended. All feedback is welcome 🙂

    Looks great .it could use a sour and crunchy element .2 kinds of purée is a bit much ( to many soft textures)Sorry if this sounds harsh .my excuse is that I have done this for a very long time .keep on cooking .

    The plate is pretty but there’s too much soft texture like others said.

    I would have either glazed the carrots or maybe a hard sear on the cauliflower and kept in medium size pieces

    Looks nice. I’m curious if the oil brings anything to the dish. Seems like a lot of it.

    It needs a crunchy element. This is just a piece of meat with baby food

    Not going to comment on the 2 purree aspect since it has been said.
    Personally I don’t mind 2 purrees if the flavours mix well aaaaand it’s a plating sub.

    I terms of plating…

    Carrot dots : work on technique.
    Cauliflower I feel like if it’s not a proper quenelle,rather swoop it or do anything that doesnt look like a bad quenelle.

    What’s up with the half sad looking unseasoned salad ? Why is it on the plate in this state ? Brush with a little oil and sprinkle sth funky on it maybe?

    Herb oil on the outside… personally not a fan, makes too much fuzz like that.
    Add 2- 3spots maybe.
    If foh takes the plate it will have had run even more when arriving at the table.
