Create a dish inspired by a painting

ASSIGNMENT

Create a culinary dish inspired by a painting. You will learn how to think like a chef by selecting seasonal ingredients, choosing preparation techniques, and styling the dish on the plate. Your goal is to capture the sensibility and spirit of the painting, not an exact replica. Remember: there are no limits in cooking.

DELIVERABLE

Share photos of your dish and the painting that inspired it. A completed project will include:

Image of your painting
Photo of your dish
Suggested: Brief description of your inspiration, interpretation, or process
