REAL Food topic --Entrees and Desserts I've been working on this year

[LCK]

I gathered together photos of the entree's and desserts that I've been working on all year. I've put hella work into all of these. Some are my own featured recipes, some are recipes that I executed for other chefs, either way,  delicious and guaranteed to bring life into this dead board. hopefully
also wtf no spoiler tags???




First is a cold smoked arctic char, smoked at a solid 125 degrees, with a mixed grain tabouli, beet beurre rouge sauce, and rainbow microgreens







Second is a made to order Banana's Foster. Simple, but delicious.
Butter, brown sugar, vanilla, deglazed with rum, served with vanilla bean ice cream and orange zest.





Third is a grilled salmon with a snow pea puree, smashed sweet potatoes, and a calico grape relish.
We currently only source Sixty South Tierra Del Fuego salmon and its fucking delicious




Fourth is Linguine with a local yellow tomato pomodoro, smoked local red tomatos, local basil, and shaved parmesan reggianito



Fifth is a pan seared Arctic Char with a blistered cherry tomato salad, balsamic reduction, and rainbow micros




Sixth is simply but amazingly delicious. Grilled vegan ribs courtesy of the Herbiverous Butcher, grilled asparagus, and a house made carolina bbq sauce





Seventh is a Vegan Avocado Caprese, the precursor to the Vegan Rib entree



Eighth is my current favorite.
Rice flour dusted and pan seared halibut with a smoked corn and mushroom ragu, balsamic, roasted tomato and rainbow microgreen






Ninth is simple but reallllly hearty and delicious. 5 cheese lobster mac and cheese (cheddar, swiss, gorgonzola, parmesan, american(for creaminess), baked with gremolata topping




Tenth is a shrimp scampi. Angel hair pasta, argentine red shrimp, tomatoes, shaved parmesan. Sauce is just white wine, butter, s+p, chives as garnish.
this is one of my least favorites. i would actually execute this dish much differently, but our chef at the time was a dipshit



11th is a huge favorite which won a few local awards
Housemade wild mushroom ravioli with local braised short rib, veal demi, and a grilled leek beurre blanc





12th is a take on a classic caprese with our local tomatos and basil



Last is another favorite dish, although i really dislike the plating in the photo
Jerk spiced tuna, seared rare, with a curried jicama slaw, and a roasted tomato jam

These all look great and it's super cool that you're becoming a chef but "pomodoro" just means "tomato" so what exactly is a yellow tomato pomodoro

p;  pomodoro is just a tomato sauce
yellow pomodoro is a sauce made from yellow tomatoes

It may be redundant but it is what it is

[Mando Pandango]

Tell the culinary community to suck my ass for that one

[LCK]
