/ck/ - Food & Cooking

The theme of Round One is...

Breakfast!

Create a stunning breakfast dish. There are no restrictions or requirements, as long as it is a breakfast. While you're perfectly welcome to make a large spread of food, please make sure there is clearly a "main dish" because that is what people will be voting on.

This is an open round, meaning that anyone can enter. Elimination don't begin until after Round Three.

I won't be competing since I don't have a camera but I kind of wanted to bounce some ideas around just for fun since I would love to participate!

For a breakfast meal, for a long time I've wanted to make spring rolls from Vietnamese rice paper skins. I've deep fried them before and they come out both crispy and sticky, which I love! I'd make it with Nutella since I've got a bunch of leftover Nutella from when my mother and sister were moving and I don't usually use it myself so it'd be a good opportunity to use it up. Otherwise, I'd typically use red bean paste (which I also happen to have lying around but I have many more uses for that). I imagine it would be something like Asian churros. I understand churros are a common breakfast item in Spain... I think bananas would be a good filling too!

>>4285557
banana/nutella deep fried spring rolls sounds amazing. You need to do this and report back.

>>4285557
>>4285576
Where I'm from this is actually a common treat. It's really good.

Is there a deadline?

>>4285611
Round One is from March 3 to the 10th.

>>4285576

Sounds like an asian crepe.

>>4285582
I-I didn't realise I would have scored so low on originality. May I ask where you're from and what it's called?

>>>/q/

could we get a lock on this since this is an actual thing? i mean, i don't want to forget halfway through the week. I'll see if i can make something late, or if my school as a unit might be interested in competing.

Hum, the one meal I never eat... will be back once I figure out what I want to do.

Am I qualified?

Ill attempt this competition. Sucks I have to use my phone to enter because I got banne yesterday for "begging". Hopefully I can appeal that and compete from my laptop. Good luck anons. :D

>>4285614
does this mean that voting ends on the 10th? or is there time to vote after the deadline for entry?

>>4285784

Last year they 404'd the thread at the stroke of midnight. So basically get your pictures in early and you're at an advantage.

Uh....

>>4285662
What's a lock?

If you're afraid of forgetting about this thread, you can put it on your watchlist (which you could probably find in the settings).

I'm assuming he meant sticky, and doesn't know how to bookmark the blogspot page.

Breakfast doesn't really involve much (if any) cooking where I'm from. I guess I'll figure something out.

To all newcomers: Remember timestamping!

How long do we have to complete this.
Breakfast is my thing.

>>4285981

Challenges usually last a week, so you have until midnight of the 10th. We have extended challenges before so it's not set in stone, but that's the general rule.

Wasn't the /ck/ masterchef challenge supposed to be a summer event?

>>4285999

Last year it went from June to October. When we did our post-season wrap up thread, a lot of people wanted the Challenge at a different time of year, because of travel during the summer and school during the autumn. So we're having the season in spring this time to see how it goes.

>>4285710
You need to provide a time-stamp in the photo. A description of the dish and/or more photos of the cooking process would also be helpful.

>>4286264
I think they were probably fooling around...

Shite, I never have enough time to make any decent breakfasts. Guess I'll have to pull something out to mak this work.

>>4286270
woosh

I think I know what I'll be making. Ill post it in a couple of days. Ive never made it before but it sure sounds delicious.
Hint: its of tunisian origin

omg i have an idea of what i'm making. i'll make it on wednesday.

>>4285557
not clear how you don't have a camera considering that every phone manufactured after 2004 has one built in

I might have to miss round one, can I participate after round 1?

>>4287538

Yes! The first three rounds are open to everyone. And don't worry if you miss this round; if you get enough good votes in the next two rounds, you still have a good chance of being selected as one of the top 15 chefs.

>>4287575
So how do the 3 rounds work, the top 15 with the most votes in all 3 rounds continues on?

>>4286955
I was really just simplifying what I said. I do indeed have a camera on my phone but the quality is very poor and I don't to post hazy photos.

Thread should be stickied. Does /ck/ even have any goddamn mods at all?

Proved me wrong, now I remember why this is my favourite board

>>4288213
I remembered I had moot on AIM so I asked him.
If heartsonfire can send him an e-mail every week we should be good to go!

>>4288225
Why is this your favourite board?

>>4288228
It's slow enough to track most of the theeads I find interesting, good quality posts by most and the board seems largely self regulated, with mods not appearing at all.

We sticky now.

Good luck people. I wish I could participate but I can't even make fried eggs without breaking the yolk.

Who stickied this crap? I'd rather see a millioin Taco Bell, ramen, and Shitpotle threads than this crap. Sage the fuck out of it. (IDGAF if it does jack shit...)

>>4288261

>>4288261
>STOP HAVING FUN YOU'RE SO ANNOYING OMYGAWD

>>4288261
Did you just sage a sticky?

>>4288261
Edgy for the sake of being edgy

>>4285789
That's poor organisation. The competition should be 7 days to make the dishes and post the pics, with NO voting allowed in that time.

Then a further 2 days for all the voting to be done, with no new entries being admitted.

Otherwise it favours anybody who knows in advance what the next challenge will require, and people who don't work jobs. The rest of us have to fit grocery shopping in around that annoying "real life".

>>4288400
how would anyone know what the next challenge will require?

Also, everyone has different equipment and schedules. So there will be clear handicaps, but it isn't necessarily "unfair". Just challenging.

>>4288411
The way I suggested would be a simple way to address these obvious and rather large flaws (which will need addressing anyway).

Set time for the food. Then set separate time after all entries are in for the voting. Much fairer, much clearer way of participating.

>>4288400

>Otherwise it favours anybody who knows in advance what the next challenge will require

Nobody knows what the challenge is until it gets posted, though.

>>4288437
It's a simple solution to a very obvious and large problem. Do seven days for all food entries, then two or more days for all the voting.

>>4288439
agreed! especially now that stickiness has been achieved the contest needs more integrity

>>4288439
>a very obvious and large problem
Yeah, it almost ruined last years competition............

Anyway, it would be really neat to know next weeks challenge ahead of time. Planning is the biggest hurdle. Obviously measures should be taken to make sure the dish is actually cooked after the challenge has started. But being able to come up with a dish and plan up to two weeks ahead would be awesome.

>>4288490
disagree with this. there wouldn't be an easy way to ensure that people cooked during the time frame and anyway, the limited time is a part of the point. if you can't hack it, maybe you're not fit to be a champion.

>>4288535

Seconded. I agree that the voting/submission dates should be changed as >>4288400 suggested, but two weeks is too much time, and revealing the theme early takes all the fun out of it.

Besides,

>Obviously measures should be taken to make sure the dish is actually cooked after the challenge has started.

There's no way to do that.

>there wouldn't be an easy way to ensure that people cooked during the time frame
>There's no way to do that.

A random number to include in the timestamp is given when the challenge starts. Yes, it sounds a bit weak but I participated in at least 10 challenges last year and it takes its toll.

>>4288348

Although we've tweaked some things since the first season, things aren't perfect and we expect the /ck/ Challenge to be a work of progress throughout the duration of the competition, so we appreciate your feedback.

We'll be taking your suggestions and giving contestants a week to complete their dishes. All entries MUST be posted by the 10th. After the week is up, we'll leave the thread up for an additional two days so that late entries can be scored.

ZB and I won't be releasing weekly themes in advance because we think the element of surprise and time crunch is what makes the Challenge challenging.

We've taken the issue of budget concerns quite seriously so all of the rounds this year can be done on a limited income and with ingredients that can be found in most home kitchens without special grocery runs.

Thank you to the anon who got our thread stickied (still wat-ing hard), and a big thank you to moot.

I'll give this a shot. I have mornings off, so I'll make myself a bomb breakfast one morning to enter. I know I'm going to get blown out of the water, but this could be fun and I could use the constructive criticism.

i think it's greta that you guys are back at this again and i wanna thank you for investing your time and money into this.

i am not entirely sure if will take part in every challenge but i guess i will do 2 or 3 for fun.

I made this awhile ago so no timestamp unfortunately. Not an official entry I suppose but I still want to post my breakfast creation

The time stamp isn't going to work like that, you need to have it in the picture it's self. I think that you could have been more creative. The omelet is overdone. You give very little exposition in how the dish was prepared or what is even in it. The tablecloth is nice and homey. I like the fresh fruit.

I doused the chili-ginger sauce, and added some dried chilis, and peppercorn, and let it simmer on medium.

After about 5 or 6 minutes, the sauce was glazing and i had let it stay in the pan for a bit, to let get the tofu a bit crispy.

It was delicious, but would have been better if i had fresh ginger. The broccoli and rice noodles were plain.

>better than the alternative sloppy joe

I started with rice noodles and broccoli that i boiled then steamed. While that was cooking i cut the tofu into rectangles and squares.

I boiled the tofu with some of the leftover broccoli water. When it was finished boiling i drained some water, but left just enough to keep it steamy in the pan.

can my dirty stove be my identifier? ;_;

>>4288933
That would work equally well. The key to making it fair is allotting a decent window for buying ingredients and cooking, which runs separately to the voting. Only start voting once all dishes are in.

It helps voting that way too, you might award full marks to something early on, then something clearly even better gets posted and all you can do is give equal top marks.

well this is fucking awful

>>4289304

Pretty shitty joke, bro.

Breakfast Crepe with Hash Browns
Standard crepe with a dash of salt
Onions and green peppers were seasoned with salt and a tiny amount of tomato paste
Slightly sweet deli ham was cooked on the pan to draw out a good amount of the liquid
Sunny side up egg
Paprika and salt were added to the hash browns

Congratulations on being the first entry. I hope you don't take 11/20 as a bad mark. I consider it one point above average.

Your presentation is okay but it doesn't look particularly appetising. Rather than giving you 3/5, which is better than average, I decided to go with 2/5. I can't tell if the red stuff is your chilli-ginger sauce or ketchup. Either way, it looks a bit sloppy. Perhaps you could have instead dressed the pasta or broccoli with it.

Originality is 3/5 but challenge goals is 4/5. Though tofu is a typical breakfast dish, I usually consider noodles and broccoli in the realm of lunch or dinner, so I gave some originality points for that but I deducted a point from challenge goals. (Though, I had a lot of problems with this challenge goals rating last year...) I also gave points for tofu, even if I did say it's a typical breakfast dish, since I admit at first all I was thinking about with breakfast was pretty much eggs or something sweet.

Appeal is 2/5 since the broccoli and noodles are plain. Not having a sauce for the broccoli florets is a great pity as they soak up sauce wonderfully. Perhaps you could have added the chilli sauce to them. Pasta is also great for sauces and I would have personally used black rice vinegar on the noodles.

Good luck!

Nothing too special regarding the presentation but the cheddar on top and stripes of Sriracha look nice. Tortilla isn't used conventionally but banana and PB is a fairly common occurrence. The omelette is looks really tasty but I'm not sure if the tortilla and omelette pair up well. I would prefer something more refreshing as a 'dessert' after cheese and bacon.

Overall, looks good, got me hungry.

Your dish is unusual for breakfast (at least to me) so I marked you up in originality, but down in challenge goals. Kind of a double edged sword. You didnt seem to put it together very well, some kind of bento box-esque design would bring it together better than a few piles of stuff on a plate. Everything does look well cooked though. Decent plate, but you need to improve to go far in the contest. Good luck

Regardless, I do not want that shit pre-smothered on my fucking omelet. Some bites I want to enjoy the delicious combination of what's in the omelet. Some bites, specifically the bites with just egg, I smother with what ever sauce given.

I stand on my scores bro. Omelet still looks fucking delicious tho.

Since when is tofu exclusively a breakfast food? Ive made it for breakfast before, but its usually an any time thing.

I knew that the dry noodles and broccoli were gonna get low ratings. The red on the tofu is in fact chili, not ketchup lol.

I could have decorated a little better, considering i didnt actually try to. I may have seconds, and make it look nice and pretty.

The presentation is all right but it looks kind of wonky. I personally don't like that square crepe look and would have preferred a 'cone' type crepe. The bed of hash browns don't look very appetising and would probably do better within the crepe. I think you could have used more vegetables, both to heighten the taste and add colour to the dish at the top of the crepe, rather than at the bottom.

Common breakfast items that aren't usually seen together - I gave you above average for originality. I think it would have been pretty tasty but I think more vegetables would have got the appeal to 4/5. It looks kind of scrawny without them, too.

On a side note, that crepe is really yellow. What kind of egg to batter ratio did you have?

>>4289452
No point till what ever round people start getting booted. It's interesting to see how this goes until that round.

Also one of the down sides of posting so close to the beggining? More people have the opportunity to catch up and upscale you. The positives?

you get more votes.

>>4289463
I think the current scores may affect the winner. I think it's chosen from across ratings for different weeks so it's more fair and not just down to fluke of the very last competition(s).

>>4289467
so these entry's can effect my final score? I need to read the by laws...

>>4289467
makes sense having watched similar shows.

Just because dish one was flawless, if you serve turd on a plate for dish two, but still have a better score than another chef on dish three, you might get booted.

>>4289460
Tofu nao-er is a common breakfast dish that's pretty much all tofu. That's what I was thinking of when I said it was a typical breakfast dish but I didn't mean that it's exclusively a breakfast food, just a typical one.

I feel like entries this early won't gather as many votes as ones submitted this upcoming weekend.
So I'll be waiting until Saturday to submit mine.

>>4289467

Each round is scored separately to determine that weeks winner and a bottom five/three/whatever. But eliminations are based on your cumulative score, weighted for participation.

The first three rounds are a bit different as they're open to everyone and don't feature eliminations. The Top 15 for Round 4 will be chosen based on total points in the first three Rounds, again weighted for participation.

>>4289505
So if I don't participate in the first 3 weeks, but participate in the 4th week elimination round, I'm at a disadvantage?

>>4289461
I used 1egg to 1/2 a cup of flour. It was my first time making crepes so any suggestions are appreciated. Traditional crepes were also made but I felt that this was better suited for the yolk to run over everything.

>>4289509

Yes, because the contestants who go on to elimination rounds are chosen based on the points they get in the first three rounds.

If you want a shot at being in the top 15, you have to get as many points as you can before eliminations begin.

>>4289522
Got it, thanks.
I'll be submitting mine in a few days.

>>4289538
For a good thin pancake (crepes whatever) you really need milk, flour, eggs and salt: 150 g flour, 4½ dl milk, 3 eggs and half a teaspoon of salt.

>>4289550
>>4289574
The full recipe I used was 1egg, 1/2 cup flour, 3/4 cup milk, and a little bit of salt. It made 2 large crepes or about 3 smaller ones. So essentially its the other anons recipe but less than half.

pancake made with a basic recipe but i used almond milk instead of milk topped with maple syrup (not the corn syrup shit most bottles are) Scrambled eggs on top with toast that i crumbed and mixed with peanut butter.

If I'm in the contest, can I still vote for others?

Low marks on Presentation because you had bits all over the plate and it wasn't centered on the dish. Looked kinda slapdash, like I'd ordered it at a cheap diner at 4 in the morning after drinking absinthe all night and making love to a diseased French whore named Cossette.

Originality got a bit of a bump because it is different. When I think of breakfast crepes, I think of scrambled eggs in a cone or wrap, with some cheese and onions, maybe some sausage. This was definitely a few steps away from there. But at the same time, crepes are street food. You're supposed to be able to hold them in your hand, while walking off an absinthe binge, thinking about all the poor mistakes you've made in your life that got you to this point, and scratching your crotch due to some fungus you picked up from Cossette.

Appeal is right in the middle. You lost some points because those hashbrowns look a bit burnt. The egg and ham both look well cooked, but that crepe is all raggedy around the edges, broken like any hopes and dreams that Cossette had about her future once her father sold her to that pimp.

Originality: 3/5, About Average originality.

Appeal: 3.5/5 Liberal amount of sauce and the way that I prefer my omelets, wouldn't be overpowering. It looks fluffy and I'd love to eat it. Not a big fan of bananas, but peanut butter or honey is one of my favorite ways to eat them. Would be too heavy a breakfast for me though.Maybe honey baked banana slices to accompany it instead?

I bumped up the presentation score for the vertical, but I found the plating was unimaginative. You got points for originality, because breakfast tofu, pasta, and broccoli is uncommon. It is, however, not that creative in a general sense. This was not appealing, the tofu looks soggy and bland despite the pepper sauce. The broccoli is cooked to perfection, rich and green. The noodles make me want to kill myself they are so boring and lifeless. I felt I was generous with the challenge goal score, I really do not see this as essentially a breakfast. There is nothing wrong with an unconventional breakfast, this just did not hit that exude that.

The vertical is nice and informative, the plating needs some work-but looks alright. This is about as original as something you could get at IHOP. I find the dish moderately appealing, the cheap deli ham doesn't do this dish any favors. You nailed breakfast though, that certainly IS breakfast. Good luck, Coquette. I believe you may show some potential.

Are the points being averaged?
Because if they're just being added up, it gives the people who submitted earlier an advantage, even if their plates are horrible.

Please answer.

Yeah, it's an average.

Great, thanks. Then I'll definitely be participating.

Perhaps this is a stupid question, but is there an image/post limit on this thread? I mean, many stickied threads I've seen have gone on for thousands of posts/images (such as those with Moot).

I was just thinking it might be interesting for someone to post some of the previous winners (I just downloaded the winners from last year from the blog).

Just an idea - and also a valid question, that could potentially keep people from excessively posting...

I honestly don't know, and neither did Hearts when I talked with her earlier about this. I've seen stickied threads go on for quite awhile without an apparent post or image limit, but I don't know if that varies from board to board or what.

The presentation could be better, I like the corgi- so there is that. The sriracha is artfully arranged on the omelet. The banana tortilla looks like crap. The originality of this dish is not evident. This looks like a breakfast commonly served at a primary school, sans the sriracha of course. I don't find this dish appealing or unappealing. You have satisfied the breakfast requirement for challenge goals.

I don't feel like much effort was made in the presentation. The almond milk and REAL maple syrup is a nice touch, but they do not rescue this dish from being unremarkable. The crumbled toast confuses me. I don't think it would be appealing to others. This is most certainly breakfast.

>>4290128

Nah, Hearts and I get our fun by coming up with the round themes for you guys, and then figuring out the prizes and penalties that come with the later rounds of the challenge.

these are rabanadas, which is a portugese style french toast. i made a shitty lil infographic to go with it in case anybody wants to make these. sorry for the bad picture quality, all i've got at the moment is my camera phone

The camera phone isn't an issue. The vertical is all right, it looks appetizing. The dish isn't the most creative, but again it looks delicious. I think anyone who sat down to the table and had this in front of them would be pleased. It is breakfast, yay!

>>4290155

Presentation: 1/5
Originality: 2/5
Appeal: 2.5/5
Challenge Goals: 5/5
Total: 10.5/20

Presentation: looks like very little effort was put into it. The rabanadas honestly look over cooked, and not very appealing from the outside (I would have cut them in half and displayed the inside). The strawberries aren't anything special, and the plate is too small.

Originality: it looks to me like french toast with sliced strawberries. I don't know too much Portuguese cuisine, and am not familiar with this particular dish, but it looks like you really didn't do anything unique and simply used a basic regional recipe.

Appeal: like I said above, it looks a bit overcooked, and without trying it we can only take your word that the inside is very flavorful and custardy. Nonetheless, simple sliced strawberries don't do much to make up for the contrast of an (overly) fried, crispy outside, and a basic french toast inside.

Challenge Goals: yeah, I would call that breakfast.

Overall, probably one of the better dishes thus far. If I could give extra points for making an infographic I would.

Salmon rubbed with olive oil, seasoned with salt, lemon pepper seasoning and some basil.

Presentation: A chunk of salmon sitting alone on a plate. Topped with a poached egg (already broken into), and then covered in Parmesan. The white cheese on top of the white egg has no contrast, and the cheese on top of the salmon just doesn't look appealing.

Originality: a piece of salmon cooked with basic seasonings and topped with a poached egg. The only original part is the cheese, but like I said above, I doubt it really works.

I like salmon, and that is most likely pretty tasty. I also love poached eggs, and the combination of the two sounds good. Having nothing but the salmon and the poached egg just doesn't really do it for me, however. It would be much more appealing over a bed of lightly dressed greens... Which takes me to the next point.

Challenge Goals: There isn't really anything about this dish that makes me think of breakfast. I gave you a 1 simply because you put an egg in there. However, a poached egg can be used in pretty much any meal (lunch or dinner). If you put this on top of a salad it would be more appealing, and a much more complete meal, but would then be something I would consider a lunch or light dinner.

Total: I reduced your score to a 0/20 for the simple fact that you have no time stamp, nor ID. I nonetheless responded as this would have been a contender thus far, imho.

>sugar instead of half and half
all my what

Pain Perdu. Toasted walnuts, strawberry coulis, shaved foie gras.

Brioche bread was soaked in 35% cream, one egg and one egg yolk along with vanilla bean, icing sugar and a touch of brandy.

>>4291068
Can we get a picture where the timestamp doesn't cover the food please?

The strawberry coulis was just strawberries cooked with sugar and lemon juice, pureed and then strained through a fine sieve. The foie gras torchon was foie gras melted, pressed through a drum sieve, seasoned with salt, sugar and white pepper then rolled in a cheese cloth, poached for 30 seconds and then frozen.

>>4291074

>>4291066
I'm fucking retarded that's what

>>4291068
>>4291081

While that looks and sounds pretty fucking top notch, I believe that other anons, along with myself, would like a little bit more info on the actual preparation (in lieu of being able to sample the best attempt at professional plating thus far into the competition).

>>4290155
That is yogurt, yes?

After being soaked for about 3 minutes, the bread was fried gently in butter. The toasted walnuts were simply toasted in a 300 degree oven for 10 minutes and then crushed inside a plastic bag.

The dish was plated thus: Raspberry coulis was smeared onto the plate, the bread, foie gras and strawberry coulis being spread between each layer and finally it was garnished with grated, frozen foie gras, an assortment of fresh berries, dusted icing sugar, and a basil floret.

>>4291106
>the bread, foie gras and strawberry coulis being spread between each layer

Exactly how many layers were there?

Did you cut the bread in half and make a sort of sandwich with the foie gras and coulis?

>>4291115

So that's you shaving off the frozen foie gras?

I was really wondering about that in your first couple of posts.

>>4291112
3 layers. A slice was placed, then frozen foie gras was grated on it and then raspberry coulis (which was in a squeeze bottle) was drizzled in quick, thin lines and then a slice was laid on top and the process repeated. No, the bread was not cut in half.

>>4291118
That's right.

That crust looks really good. Final presentation isn't that good. Try using a larger plate next time (or rather, a plate that won't cramp your food). In this case, vertically slicing the strawberry might have helped. Originality is good since I've not heard of it before, but not 4 or higher since it's an already existing dish. I certainly want to try it.

Interesting combination and I like the use of foie gras as the savoury element of the dish without being overpowering and complementing the sweetness.

Unfortunately, I find the presentation fairly poor. The crust of the bread make the dish look untidy and I think this could have been avoided by cutting the crusts to make squares or triangles, or by using a bread without the typical sandwich loaf shape. Stacking the uneven slices also takes away from the presentation when attempting to do a more professional presentation because it brings out the unevenness. I think this could have been combated by either frying them all together, somewhat like a grilled cheese, or by spreading them out. The shaved foie gras doesn't look very good. It looks wispy and limp. I think the effect could have been decreased by keeping the shaved foie gras to the french bread and not upon the plate. Since you say you shared this breakfast, perhaps creating a smaller dish would have also helped in creating a less messy presentation.

As for the appeal, I'm just not feeling it but this is, without doubt, the only entry so far that has aroused my interest.

Presentation: right off the bat, your plate looks like culinary school, intro to plated desserts 101 (we'll get to the "dessert" part later on). You have clearly been trained in basic, generic, industry plating. While I would like to say that warrants some points, you basically followed textbook plating and did a rather poor job at it.

Originality: There are only a couple of original ideas you threw in here. On the one hand, you layered the bread and put (the same) filling between each layer. This really doesn't do much for me. It would be far more elegant had you simply presented a single slice of the pain perdu with the coulis underneath and the shaved foie gras on top. On the other hand, you threw in foie gras. I find that to be original, insofar as it really makes very little sense in this dish. It seems like your thought process must have been something along the lines of: this looks like a dessert, I'll throw in something savory and call it breakfast...".

Appeal: Everything looks appealing. I will never turn down something that includes foie gras (although that seems like your point; and I wonder what expensive ingredient you plan on pulling out in later rounds). I'm really just not sold on the foie gras with everything else.

Challenge Goals: Like I said above, this looks like a dessert. The only thing that makes it unlike dessert is the foie gras, which I don't tend to think of as a breakfast food.

Total: trying a little too hard/10

I love the fact you boiled the bagels. Did you eggwash the top? If not, I think that would have produced a better colour. It's a good presentation but could be improved. I don't quite like the choice of using fruit to give colour to the dish as I don't feel they're suited to the dish. If you had perhaps integrated them better (maybe even put the sauce on top of the fruit if that would be a good combination - who knows?), I would be happier with it.

I really like your take on the bagel and Hollandaise sauce. The bagel is almost like a focaccia bagel and I like the cayenne you used so I gave you above average on originality but it just isn't original enough. Strawberries and bananas are quite typical breakfast fruits, an Eggs Benedict-like meal, pancetta as bacon... It's just not striking enough but a good start.

Overall, a solid entry.

I was so with you until the presentation. I feel like if you wanted to add some fruit, a big green salad with cranberries would've worked. Maybe some people'd say that isn't breakfasty, so maybe that's not the right road, but the plate definitely needed some work. Love your bagels though.

I like the look of those crepes. I like how you went for cone shaped crepes as I think those are the most aesthetically pleasing. I'd definitely want to try it. It bothers me a bit how you have all four on a relatively small plate. If I were using a knife and fork on that, I'd feel like I'd be getting food on the tray and bed. Corn and sunflower seed bread sounds nice. Did you buy or make it? I gave above average for originality since I haven't tried those crepe fillings before.

>>4291362
Hey, they wouldn't need a tray if they had a table!

>>4291366
To be honest, I think two crepes enough for breakfast. Four crepes, three eggs and soldiers? That's a bit much.

The presentation is good, the walnuts could be dispersed better,the grated foie gras looks unappetizing-like worms, and the coulis looks blobbed on the top, otherwise very nice. Very original, I like the concept. I feel like the dense eggy brioche and the dense rich foie gras would be a little overwhelming. The dish has visual appeal though. Breakfast!

The presentation needs work, it looks like you are trying though. It is a little cluttered. Crepes, toast, and eggs. fairly conventional breakfast items, but you have put some personality into the dish. I do not find eggs AND crepes appealing, the bread is a little much too. One or the other would have sufficed. The crepes with the raw apples and plum (a prune is a plum that has been dried en anglais) would have been better if the fruid had been cooked somehow. Or the fruit served as a salad on the side. It is breakfast.

I seem to have misplaced my burst shaped post-its... I'll fix that for next round.

Anyways, breakfast is the one thing I never really eat... when I do it tends to be a muffin on the bus on the way to work...

So I made muffins with whole wheat and millet. Presented with two kind of jams (because these muffins tend to be on the dry side of the spectrum). The yellow one is a pear butter with vanilla and ginger. The dark red one is a boozy strawberry jam with lavender.

I only time stamped the final picture, but verticals for the components will be posted shortly.

>>4291414
Millet muffins.

>>4291414
Boozy strawberry jam with lavender.

When I say cider I really mean the alcoholic kind. But stay away from ice ciders, as they would be too sweet for this application.

Make sure you get food-grade lavender... most sprigs of lavender sold by florist have been sprayed with lavender essential oils, making them unfit for cooking.

I guess I'm still too sloppy. I took your feedback in consideration. Same ingredients, crêpe filled with a fruit salad (apple, plum, orange) topped with crushed and grilled pecan nuts and honey, dropped the jam and jelly, it'd be overkill and too sweet with the honey, the fruits are cut pretty big because I was just too lazy. I'll try harder in the next round.

Recipes are user recipes or the user combines recipes they find online. It makes it more fun this way. There may be those who just do a recipe they find, though. I haven't heard anything about a restriction to recipes because I think it's just assumed that competitors make their own or make suitable adaptations.

>>4291454
It's good that you're trying. However, the previous crepes looked better because they were light and neat. This current one simply looks too stuffed. Perhaps you could have diced the fruits smaller (though you do mention this), and put the nuts on top to garnish. Overall, the quantity is still too much. Maybe going with two crepes, one slightly on top of the other, would be better. The honey is also hidden. You could decorate the plate with it (though this often looks lame if not done well).

I like this a lot. I really like how the components appear simple but are well thought out. I gave higher originality points because even though the items (muffins and jam) are quite common, they're not typically what I would associate with breakfast (particularly a lavendar, cider strawberry jam), and they have their own individuality.

The presentation is good but to be honest, the muffin reminds me of excrement with sweetcorn and the thickness of the strawberry jam looks somewhat unappetising, though I'm sure it's delicious. My jam doesn't really become this thick, do you think it could be the brown sugar or cider you used which thickens it?

I'm disappointed that the muffins would be dry and the jam is used to 'hide' this fact but I'd still like to try the muffins, strawberry jam and pear butter. Perhaps adding cornflour might lighten the muffins?

Really nice work.

I know that I'll miss most of the future rounds, but I FUCKING LOVE BREAKFAST, so I wanted to do this week's challenge if none of the others.

For lunch I made something that I thought would be a good breakfast idea! Living in England but being Chinese, I miss tofu nao a lot, since it's not available in China Town. However, there is also a traditional Chinese dish of steamed eggs. I was trying to think of something to eat today since I'm running out of groceries so I used one part egg to two parts water, whisked it, put it through a sieve, steamed it, and it produces something close enough to the texture of tofu nao. I'm sure with soy sauce, spring onions and chilli it would be great! For something more breakfast-y for Westerners, one could add sugar, a light tomato sauce and prosciutto, which I think would complement the sweetness. It would be a different take on fried tomatoes, bacon and eggs for breakfast.

>>4291514
The rules say you need to have a "main dish" that will be voted on rather than multiple dishes. I think you need to choose between the eggs benedict or syllabub.
