This week, I just felt like playing. Since I had split pea soup in the slow cooker, I decided to make it useful playing. I thought cheese biscuits would be nice with it... but not just *any* cheese biscuits!


I decided to form the dough over some ramekins I had.


I got 4 functional, soup-holding bowls, and 2 duds, but for a first try, I would say it was a success.



So does anyone else play with their food?

Yes! I do!!  It's often difficult to tell where the lines between cooking and playing with my food are.  I make up recipes, I make up techniques, I make them look pretty sometimes, I arrange them weird, serve them weird. Due to life circumstances I get very little time to create neat things, so all of my creative drive comes up like a geyser when I cook.

Probably the prettiest thing I made lately was my Sunrise Mousse. Beets, sweet potatoes, spices, coconut milk topping and lots of gelatin. cooled in layers, 3 dishes that got layers added to them for cooling, assembled it all carefully, served it dramatically.... Was a lovely game!

Sunrise Mousse!



I love playing with food! I have a collection of threads here on my experimental recipes that I have labeled "Concept Cooking" a random one:   Concept Cooking: Watermelon rind experiments: Spoiler alert: they worked WELL!  and threads about other recipes like Oh my! Weird Pies!!

Yes. Yes I play with my food   :D
Obsessively, creatively, and constantly.  

Gardens in my mind never need water
Castles in the air never have a wet basement
Well made buildings are fractal -- equally intelligent design at every level of detail.
Bright sparks remind others that they too can dance
What I am looking for is looking for me too!

Jay, playing with food, so funny I am going to give it a go, the bowl looks like a yummy addition to the soup.

Pearl I was so intrigued with your sunrise mousse I checked out your Concept Cooking link, looks like I'll be busy for quite a while :-)

WARNING permaculture is highly addictive, it may cause life altering changes such as valuing people, community and resources, and promote respect, learning, support and kindness .

When my son was a kid (now 18...) I often arranged the food on his plate to make smiley faces, monkeys, suns and flowers
This is a great thread, inspiring to bring the Visual Artist into the kitchen with the Chef!

I haven't played with my food yet, but I've had fun with utensils and serve ware.

I choose...to be the best me I can be, to be the strongest me I can be, to learn the most I can. I don't know what comes next. But I'm gonna go into it balls to the walls, flames in my hair, and full speed ahead.
