INSPIRATION
The basis and inspiration for this dish is the almond: the cultivation, growth and harvesting of it. With the flowerpot, the aim is to reflect the countryside where the tree grows, with the biscuit emulating the earth and the flower symbolising the almond tree. The small jug of Mistelle can be interpreted as a watering element, and at the same time serves to bathe the cake as the consumer likes, making it even tastier and spongier.
