Roasted pear
Caramelized honey powder never seen it done but have clear idea of how to do it
Honey cake
Blackcurrant emulsion
Crème de casis vanilla ice
very classic dessert Im just thinking honey ice would make it too sweet?

This could easily get stretched to 10 course, If you include cheese and inbetween- course and I would just add one after-starter.
Whatya think?

Except for the liver (just don't like liver) it looks awesome. Hope the caramelized honey powder is do able.

Thanks

I havent liked it either, until I ate it glazed with butter

The powder is doable im sure about that, I just have to practise a little with the right caramel proportion [its two magic ingredients there]

So many chefs up here, give me some critique, please

Sent you a PM Bieniek. Love what you have so far.

You can just about smell and taste that looking at the pictures.

:drool:

Amazing once again!

Really nice work there! pass a fork please.

Thanks everyone. I see many things that coul be improved, but the oxtails itself were worth it!

i didnt like:

- the fact that i prepped the mise en place on sunday and cooked on thursday
- the cooked artichoke bits will change to friters.
- the tomatoes got overdried
- **ck the cooking alcohols that are ready seasoned. Destroys every reduction
- next time I will get mache
- kneading 4 days old pasta

The leeks werent blanched beforehand.
I put some butter and water/stock to the saucer, season, stick the leek bits in, boil it on medium heat covered, first the butter emulsifies and steam cooks the leeks tender afterwards butter splits and leeks fries itself on clarified butter
