This is another course of our six-course lunch we enjoyed on the terrace of the Oustau de Baumanière in Provence last June. The French version reads:

Thon de Méditerranée juste saisi,
côte de sucrine, tomates confites et olive taggiashe

It contained three versions of tuna: smoked, fried, and raw. As well as I remember the course, I cannot translate the rest into English. (Maybe someone can help?) Let me tell you, it was a delight - the whole meal was a three-hour delight. Something to remember for a long, long time. So, dear foodies, it is well worth saving up for such a fancy meal every once in a lifetime!

I hope you enjoy this culinary view. You can see another dish at Provence, 3

Your opinions are most welcome. Thank you for your visit!

Hi Cordelia,
Looks delicious and you do well in depicting!
Th whole idea with food photography is to make the viewer want some, and I would not mind tasting this right now!
Well framed, appealing natural colours and fine details!

Great presentation of delicious food! It looks so real that I am sure I can start eating later right from my monitior ^_^. This is done very well Cordelia!

This is a wonderful one, Cordelia. I think the food was a magnificiant subject, and you've chosen a course that is quite beautiful. But this is wonderfully rendered. Though I do wonder about straightenting the lines of the plate (but I am a bit "anal" that way). Overall, though, I am a bit jealous now (and hungry!).
Mike

looks tasy Cordelia :)

not easy photograph food, you did well to avoid reflections and bright spots on the food itself :)

Hello Cordelia!

Back on posting critiques, after a few days away. (*_*)
Thank you for the invitation to sit at your table (*_^)

Very nice dish, with the addition of flowers too. Did you try them ? as they are apparently tasty too.

I love the way you used your plate to frame your shot and add your signature. Well thought!
Robert
