The First Dish

The first dish for this challenge is Lamb with Cumin. In the absense of anything remotely akin to inspiration, I sculpted a large portion of rice into a vague shape and then added the meat. Aw yeah. That's the stuff.

Why did I start this blog challenge again?

At this point, it looked like most of my home-cooked efforts.

The cucumber is cut into fun little triangles so I started playing with them. If I'd been making a kid's meal, perhaps I'd have employed them in the construction of some kind of stegasauras - but this was serious business. Adult plating, yo.

Realising that I'd forgotten to use the yuba-like Tofu, I placed it on top and endeavoured to find a position that would photograph well.

I realised, as I was taking my photo, that I'd managed to position 3 different elements in such a way that it was impossible to capture their most interesting textures at the same time.

In other words, I'd made a massive hash of things.

Ah well. At least the bar hasn't been set too high for my future endeavours.
