Art Meal: Starry Night

Art Meal: Starry Night

画餐: 星空

Failed on this one because the material, color, and swirling stroke must be done with right material and water portion. it suppose to be Art Meal, but now down grade to plate decoration, like those countless 5 star restaurants. How Sad!

And second attempt, still could not get it right, could not get the royal primal Blue, that's Van Gogh's blue, Heisenberg Blue :D, what I could get is only teal, that's counterfeit blue, a color tries to mingle into primary club... and too much water, rake the corn with fork, no stroke mark.

my best blue attempt

Art Meal: Monet's Water Lilies

Art Meal: Monet's Water Lilies

莫奈睡莲粥

*** my method is my copyright, only for private and family use, it should not be any commercial use. the painting title belongs to the Artist Monet.***

Element for Content:
scrambled 2 eggs, done out of salt and olive oil
thin-cut radish, thin cut shrimp and cilantro leaves heated in salt olive oil, out

Element for Canvas:
White corn flour
Blue Raspberry (smashed, ground, need the juice, but it's real hard to buy it everywhere, so use V8 Raspberry Juice, 1 or 2 cup portion)
smashed firm tofu for protein
heat some salt and 2 spoon olive oil and sliced garlic to build the taste of the soup, when the garlic turn yellow, pour 1 or 2 cup of V8 Raspberry juice, when the soup boiling, read the color, add water to make it lighter, or soy sauce for darker(that's how different shades of blue are made, if you want to waste time, you can make 2 darker shade of blue soup portion, combine and stir at the final stage, but mostly you need to add water for the base canvas), better google the Monet's Water Lilies, and compare the color, and more spinach will make your canvas darker greener, the meal canvas should be done.
we need both vibrant blue and lush dark green canvas, and leave some fresh spinach out so we have more splendid green hues, other green vegetable can also add more hues.
when the soup color is right, pour white corn flour and later the tofu, stir it, til boil, keep it boiling on low heat, so the corn will soak most water, that becomes a little mush and sticky, because water will ruin other element colors. the texture very similar if you stick your nose to the original painting see it closely, so is my Van Gogh Sunflowers Meal too.

That's my Monet Water Lilies Meal ! :-D

Art Meal: Van Gogh's The Sunflowers yellow on yellow

Art Meal: Van Gogh's The Sunflowers burnt yellow blooms on yellow canvas

梵高向日葵粥

*** my art meal method is my copyright, only for private and family use, it should not be any commercial use. the painting title belongs to the Artist Van Gogh.***

Element:
Yellow Corn Flour (Goya)
roasted salt sunflower seeds (more would ruin the canvas)
firm tofu smashed
white mushroom chopped (will ruin the canvas if the black stem not taken out, like my photo)
1 jalapeño pepper slice or chopped
1 Yellow Bell Peppers, half orange bell (bell pepper

Ingredient:
salt, 2 spoon olive oil, a few drop of soy sauce

Method:
heat sliced bell pepper and jalapeño in olive oil add salt and a few drops of soy sauce till it gives that delicious fresh burnt fragrance (leave a few piece fresh bell pepper, that means "there still hope"), dump all cooked and fresh pepper into the ready boiled tofu, mushroom, sunflower seed and corn soup. and you get my Van Gogh's Sunflowers Meal. you get burnt, toast and fresh taste in one spoon. (See photo) I can use fewer mushroom and sunflower seeds, so the meal canvas would be chrome yellow, which large portion is yellow corn flour and white color tofu, but I want more mushroom and sunflower seeds; appetite first, art second. roast salt sunflower seeds, burnt yellow bell pepper, boiled yellow corn flour... and the cooking process, all symbolic to the tormented artist.


Right Meal Canvas
