Wild Harvest

by Thomas Scheiblhofer

In this dish, Thomas Scheiblhofer was inspired by the wild harvest of cacao. In late autumn one finds only very few things still in a field: herbs, the last roots and of course the earth itself. Under the ground, however, there is still a lot to harvest. Our Wild Harvest is a representation of an almost harvested field.
