Image of the Week is all about engaging imagery, so apart from giving readers the basics of what the image is, where it was taken and why Majella chose it, we will let the images speak for themselves.
This week’s image is a dish created by Chef Anthony Raffo a Private Chef expanding his work portfolio through new techniques and flavour balances. The full title for Anthony’s dish is Pan Seared Scallop, white chocolate and wasabi sauce, cucumber ribbons, wild garlic flowers, nasturtium, pea shoot springs, yogurt snow, dill and lava salt.
During this week’s image selection process Majella gave us some background:
“I met Anthony through friends just over a year ago and I just love his unique ideas. I always enjoy photographing and tasting his unusual collaborations of flavours and textures, they excite and surprise the palate with measured grace.
Anthony is always talking about chefs who inspire him especially Rene Redzepi from Noma, Lee Westcott from Typing Room and Martyn Meid from INK. I think quite a few chefs could be inspired by Anthony very soon, I certainly am, but it does make the shoot more difficult in achieving an image that is equal to the food. Happy to keep trying though.”
