      Foraging session part 2

      Morels (Morchella crassipes, Morchella conica), amberjack, wild asparagi, cruschi fried bell peppers, salted catchfly and plantain.

      A dish that comes from the woods. All the ingredients are hand picked, except the amberjack. There are variations, what is your fave?

          I love how every variation keeps that woodland spirit while bringing something slightly different to the plate. Really inspiring work, Fabrizio

        • Thanks ladies. With much surprise I must admit that plating morels is Uber complicated but, in the end, I’m ok with the result

          • Fine dining vibes as usual! Well done Fabrizio! I agree, I think you certainly did a very good job! 😊

              Las dos propuestas me parecen geniales. Un buen trabajo sin duda

                Hey Fabrizio 😊 this dish has such a beautiful wild feel, and I’m especially drawn to the first plating, it reads more naturally, the composition has better rhythm, and the different heights let each element breathe. Which version would you keep refining?

                • @soldamiani Hey you! Thanks for the comment. Personally I’m not happy with any of the plating. I think that I’m missing something here…

                    @fabrizio-vindigni I get you, plating can feel like the last little puzzle piece 😅 But the good part is that you’re noticing it, and that’s already progress. What do you feel is missing most right now, height, balance, or a clearer focal point?

                  • Level: favicon spaced Scoolinary Team

                    @fabrizio-vindigni You’ve got a strong base here. The morels are beautifully handled, great texture and color, and the amberjack looks nicely cooked. To elevate the dish, bring everything together with a light sauce or glaze, something like a reduced jus or a delicate herb oil to unify flavors and add shine. Tighten the plating by anchoring the elements closer, and build a clearer focal point, stacking or layering slightly to create height. Also, consider adding a fresh or acidic touch, maybe a subtle pickled element, to balance the earthy tones and lift the whole dish.

                    • @soldamiani in the final plate i am going to change how i display elements plus i will add an amberjack fumet scented with ginger and soy sauce. This will happen next year hopefully because morels are over. It’s life 🙂
