I adore each and every selection, a feast for the eyes! I can only imagine how amazing it all tasted. I have a particular fondness for #2, 8 & 10 on your list, & #1, 6 & 9 on R's.

There's a bowl of potato chips, a cup of ice cream, a plate of tomatoes, a side dish of potato gratin etc - not particularly artfully presented either. Even the desserts are unpretentious - a brownie slapped on a plate with a scoop of ice cream, so I'm not sure what you consider 'poncy' about that. <br /><br />The dishes that made this dish were chosen on taste alone; it's all good and nice to look pretty, but if there's no substance, it fails.<br /><br />Although some of the dishes above not only taste great, but are also gorgeously presented, which I think is a bonus. If a dish can taste great and look great, then all the better. <br />It's not pretentious if it delivers on flavour as well as looks in my opinion.CC11https://www.blogger.com/profile/07197436687881765010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5562372589825568085.post-61240088340155914452010-12-28T10:36:38.310+11:002010-12-28T10:36:38.310+11:00Is it just me or do you lean slightly (granted, no...Is it just me or do you lean slightly (granted, not always) to the pretentious? Hopefully 2011 will continue the trend of good honest, fresh, robust and (thankfully) unponcy food that's more about cooking and less about science, art and constructing geometric conundrums on a plate....hopefully? I'm all for the joy of eating and it appealing to multiple senses but sometimes it can (quite often) lead to disappearing up one's own....well, you get my subjective drift. Less is more, like the tomatoes above.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
