This is after 1 year in culinary school (plus a lot of on-the-job learning in various restaurants (currently two michelin starred)).

Enjoy:

Creamy mushroom soup.

I used about 3kg of veggies (1kg mushrooms) to make 6dl of soup. Also a lot of cream.

Scallops with lemon and fennel, carrot jelly salad

Pork braised in port wine with carrots. Cherry foam, hazelnuts, apricots & rosemary.



Please tell me what you think

I'm also willing to answer any questions regarding the dishes.


Time to update a little:

Textures of chocolate

A school competition entry, theme was BBQ, ingredients were Tabasco sauce and chicken

Chocolate parfait with cherry cake, cherry granita and amaretto fluid gel

What's the hand wash for?

Those look alright pre-appetisers.

Hand wash? I guess you're referring to the foams. The scallop has a lemon foam, basically just to give it a hint of lemon taste, while similarily the pork has a cherry foam. I also like the way they look, although this is a matter of taste.

Those look great, and I bet they taste great too...

That said, I never understood high-end culinary presentation. I want my food to look like this:

Yumyum

The mushroom soup looks astonishingly good. They all do, in fact, but the consistency and color of the foam on the scallops is offputting. I've seen Adria do it (no pressure

) and it seems thicker, somehow. Your cherry foam is much closer to what I'm accustomed to.

I'd love to try the carrot jelly salad as well.

What Michelin restaurants have you worked at?

That's not a knife, this is a knife. I mean pork.

Yup, looks like spit.

Belive me, it was

I even surprised myself with that one. I used a normal cream soup base but thinkened with further by adding two egg yolks and then blending it. Let's just say it was extremely fluffy and creamy.

Actually I used exactly the same method and chemical as Adria does, I guess I couldve mixed it a tad longer (or perhaps colour it yellow with saffron?).

The carrot jelly salad was surprisingly refreshing, as a base I used a carrot/orange/ginger jelly. Next time I was thinging about marinating some cucumber brunoise for more depth.

I would prefer not to share such details where I work at this point as I still work there, perhaps in a year or so.. Let's just say it's in scandinavia (not Finland).

Thanks for the comments so far.

That would certainly do it in my eyes.

Fair enough. Seems you're getting a good education, regardless

that website is crazy.

That stuff looks disgusting

This looks like the first bite or two would taste decent.

I thought this looked decent too until I realized it was between two DOUGHNUTS.

The website is lying to you. This is vomit.

I'd better stop before I lose my appetite.

But you have to admit, there's at least one thing on that site that you'd like to try...
