***FOOD PORN*** - My Creations!!!

in food •  7 years ago 

Hello all Foodies out there!

@progressivechef's back again!
As many of you already knows it, I have been working as a chef for the last 15 years! And my latest positions has been Executive Chef of The Westin Mauritius and most recently Executive Chef of The St. Regis Mauritius!

It has been a great journey indeed, cooking food has always been my passion! And I always push myself to bring out the best! Over the years I have progressed a lot and each dish that I cook I make sure to bring it to a very refined level!

I just love progressive cuisine! That's how I got the nickname of progressivechef!

On this post today, I will share some of my best creations so far with you all! All the photos are mine and taken with my iphone!

Please do leave a comment and do let me know your views! Ready for some food porn?

Here we go!

Wild honey jelly, goat cheese mousse and figs.jpg

This is a dish I created for a magazine here in Mauritius! It is a Wild honey jelly, goat cheese mousse, spicy crumble and figs.
The combination of honey and goat cheese is simply amazing and soft in your mouth! Slight spicyness with the crumble!

A Solo Papaya Tale....jpg

This one i named it A Solo Papaya Tale.

It's a dessert made with papaya only! I used even the seeds which were dried out first! The macaroon too was made with papaya!

You have confit papaya, a bavarois made of papaya and papaya macaroon! Btw the papaya i use here is named Solo. A small variety but super sweet!

Marinated fruits carpaccio and rock lobster with citrus.jpg

Next one is simply a Seasonal fruits carpaccio and rock lobster with citrus.

So basically fruits are cut in thin slices and marinated with olive oil, salt , citrus juice and a hint of chili powder! The lobster is poached and served cold! Top up with different citrus wedges! Really very refreshing to be served as a starter!

Caipirinha and mojito flavored sugar cane sticks.jpg

This is one of my personal favorite! So easy to make and so delicious! It is called Caipirinha and Mojito flavored sugarcane sticks.

The sugarcane stick is simply macerated for 8 hours in caipirinha and mojito! Served on crushed ice, it just blows you away!

Duck liver tatin.jpg

Who has never eaten the ever famous apple tatin? Well this famous classic is being revisited here! I used granny smith apple to make the tatin and added panfried duck liver on top with a port wine sauce!

I named it simply Duck Liver Tatin.

It is served with an apple compote too! Apple and duck liver matches so well together!

Duck Liver...Papaya...Nuts Relish.jpg

Another take on the duck liver! I present you Panfried duck liver with crispy papaya cannellonni and nuts relish.

The papaya is cooked sous vide then wrapped in phyllo leaves and cooked to get super crispy! I used several types of nuts for the relish and some crispy croutons on top! How you find this one?

Fruits salad water jelly, mascarpone cream and raspberry sorbet.jpg

Another refreshing dessert! This dish is one of my best creations so far! The name : Fruits salad water jelly, mascarpone cream and raspberry sorbet.

Here I made a normal fruit salad, but i collected only the juice which is filtered and gelatine is added to have a trembling jelly! The rest is dollop of mascarpone cream and a home made raspberry sorbet!

A lot of details while plating but absolutely worth it!

Fish monochrome, brocoli, zuchinni, gombos, bok choy and green peas.jpg

Oh i just love monochrome! And that's how this dish came to my mind! Fish monochrome, brocoli, zuchinni, gombos, bok choy and green peas.

I used all green vegetables that was available and glazed the fish with green peas puree! My guest were simply overwhelmed with this dish!

Warm chocolate soft cake and vanilla ice.jpg

I will end this post with this amazing dessert! Warm chocolate soft cake and vanilla ice.

When you cut this chocolate cake, the middle is still liquid and warm! Paired with a vanilla ice cream it is just heavenly good!

I really hope you enjoyed this little journey with me and my food creations! This is only some, there's a lot more to share!

By following me you will discover more of such amazing dishes!

Excellent food art! Only very little food portions.

Hahaha! Thank you for your comments @coquiunlimited! It is not that small portion though when someone eats a 3-courses meal!

Okay explaining that it's a three course meal makes a huge difference, since I usually can't get through one meal! A three course meal would be a huge challenge, but with those portions I just might make it through! 😁

Yea its only for looks cause i'd be there all night trying to get full off those portions. Its the art that you pay for and the experience.

@progressivechef

Thanks a lot for such an encouragement!
@progressivechef

awe thanks but I am no chef ! LOL but I do love home cooking ! 👍👍👍

Infact this is what i do at work, but the best food is the one cooked at home dear! Nothing beats that!

Yes I know your a chef , and all your food looks amazing , it was my first time actually making a smoothie for the Culinary challenge , they are very easy to make , but I wanted to combine the right stuff that would taste good together for the most protein so even vegans can drink it ! Anyways it turned out really good so,im going to make them more often now! Lol ! Love trying new things ! 😋💙🍓🍌🍫👍

Yum Yum Yum, your family is so lucky!! You're such a talented chef! These dishes look like what a finalist Masterchef contestant would whip up :)

I love how you included papaya seeds into your papaya dessert hehe..those are very healthy, so it offsets the sinfulness of the dessert.

Oh what a great compliment @foodie.warrior! I have participated in quite a lot of competitions and won a couple of them too!
I just love refined and progressive cuisine! It's my inner passion!

Papaya seeds can be used in a lot of ways too, you can use it as pepper to season your meats and fish too!

You got a very nice blog, i just checked it out and followed you! Looking forward to learn some great recipe with you!

Cheers
@progressivechef

Woah that's so cool! When you run out of posting ideas, you can share your contest experiences and triumphs! Not many have that experience in real life, so you're in a niche of your own! :))

Papaya seeds are indeed very peppery..I used to crush some and swallow them with a gulp of water at one time when I read about their health benefits.. :)) Never tried seasoning meats and fish with that, though I read it was an option. Do you have personal experience with that?

Thanks for the compliment @progressivechef! Keep steeming! :))

Yes for sure I will share my experiences in contest soon! It was quite something unique with amazing sensation!
As for papaya seed, I have used a lot for seasoning fish dishes mainly, they really bring an additional interesting taste to it! You should try it!
Steem On!

Would you by any chance have one of those recipes to share? I would love to try it out next time I get a fresh papaya on hand :))

Can't wait for your autobiographical contest stories soon..yay! :)

Amazing work, they must of taken a long time to make!

Thanks @biglipsmama! It does not take that long if you are well prepared in advance! All preps must be completed beforehand and you are good to go!
The most important is the plating!

Cheers

YEAH...THE FOODS LOOK SUPERB..ARE YOU A CHEF ALSO?
NICE COMMENT

One day I hope to eat one of your beautiful dishes. I bet they are super tasty too. They all look so good. My kind of food porn! Although I would pass on the duck liver. Never liked the taste of liver. But it looks delicious though.

That would be a honour having you to taste my dishes @amy-goodrich! I am not a super fan of the duck liver too, but from time to time I just play a little bit for the pleasure of my guest!
So glad you checked my post!

Wow that's amazing, a true work of art, upvoted and followed

Thank you for appreciating @moemanmoesly! Stay tuned for more to come soon!

Again, awesome creations @progressivechef!

If I had to chose one to taste I think it would be the Panfried duck liver with crispy papaya cannellonni and nuts relish.

It looks really exciting combination!

Oh thanks a lot for such nice compliments @cryptopet!
The feedbacks on the Panfried duck liver with crispy papaya cannellonni and nuts relish were really amazing from my guests perspective! Everyone loved it!

Oh wow I would die eating that food, it looks really yummy. I love to cook, but I can't cook anything like that.

Thank you a lot @dragonslayer109 for checking out my post! Actually I have been chef for the last 15 years working in world class hotels and restaurants, I just love food!
That's great to hear that you love to cook, i bet you are a foodie too! Then you will very much enjoy my channel!
Looking forward to surprise you with some more amazing dishes!
Cheers
@progressivechef
