Scallops & Potatoes, Version 1.0

The scallops I bought from a store were absolutely atrocious, nothing close to the ones I get in the restaurant.  I need to nail the size of the potato and scallop.  Honey comb in the middle is nice and the muscat/orange vinaigrette was nice as well.   Buy better scallops and fix potatoes then there might be something here.

Scalloped Potatoes…..I never had them until about a year or so ago……I thought I was going to get scallops and potatoes…..I was disappointed.

Grape Tomato on Fire!

Thanks to Scott for taking the pictures (click)!

This is a grape tomato concasse.  The skin is left on and pulled up in order to give it the effect of fire when the photo was taken.  I saw this in Michel Bras’ book, he roasts them as well which gives a pretty awesome effect as well.

While Scott was over we tried another effect of dropping flowers which worked pretty well and with a little more time I think we’ll perfect it.
