Thread: Ophelia's Food Art

So I'm challenging myself to 100 works of art in 98 days (because I turn 40 in 98 days, well now 97, but I started last night). I just want to improve my culinary chops, since I hardly ever break out of my current culinary shell. And I may not keep my current job forever, so it wouldn't hurt to be ready for something else, with some more skills under my belt.

I'm focusing on classical french stuff, or things equally fancy. And from scratch as much as possible (like if I can make the cheese that goes into the dish, then I have to make it). But if you guys see something amazing, I'll try to duplicate it. I'll post the pics of my results, and recipes too in case any of y'all want to try (and so I can duplicate them in the future ). This thread will really motivate me to kick some culinary butt!

Oh yeah, comments appreciated. I know y'all can't taste it unless you make it yourself, so any thoughts about the plating or anything would be great. Thanks
