I’m the same. When doing fine dining we always try and make it look as sexy as it taste but when it comes to texture it can make or break it! Also every time we cook at home is a wonderful learning experience! I make so many great dishes at home and so many mistakes. But you only know once you know, you know. Lol. Also your veggies look good! I’d have gone w mixing them in w the rice but that’s what a for and knife are for, right!
