Crafting a plate of food is akin to designing anything; you need to know where everything belongs. "Designing the Plate" delves into my culinary journey, tracing back to my early experiences in the kitchen at the age of 5, and learning through trial and error. Every recipe and photograph within this cookbook has been meticulously crafted by myself, offering a glimpse into my relationship with food. Drawing inspiration from Michelin-starred restaurants, this book explores techniques to recreate fine dining experiences at home. Each dish embodies a unique blend of classic French techniques infused with Japanese-inspired flavors.
