Poached Pear with a Honeycomb Tuile

Wine-poached fruit, vanilla ice cream, and pastry architecture on a grey bowl.

A composed pear dessert is a pastry brief: fruit cooked until translucent, a vanilla quenelle, toasted cake, crumble, and a tuile thin enough to look like glass.

Chef Vasanth treats garnish as structure, not clutter. The honeycomb tuile gives height; the herbs give a green pause. It is a plate that photographs as clearly as it eats.
