How to use this prompt

The quenelle's smooth oval shape is the skill being shown, so describe it as 'a smooth quenelle' — a dollop reads as careless, while the quenelle's clean rugby-ball form signals technique. Restraint is the whole fine-dining look, so keep the plate 'dark' and the elements few; a busy plate reads as home cooking. The 'pool of berry coulis' gives a color anchor against the dark plate. Keep the hands to just the fingers and spoon — full hands at this scale often render awkwardly and pull focus from the plate.

Variations to try

Chocolate version — a ganache quenelle with a cocoa-nib tuile
Overhead — the plate centered with the coulis dragged in a single stroke
