#1 Menu in ORANGE
Menu Stripes of carrots and orange bell peppers cooked in herb scented butter Shrimps braised in olive oil with garlic and hot pepper flakes Cantaloupe halves filled with bits of orange Grapefruit/grenadine juice My first test eaters were excited about the idea and immediately bubbled over with ideas for more colours and ingredients.

menus inspired by Sophie Calle’s “chromatic diet”
This is a project of contemporary artist Sophie Calle. I immediately loved its playfulness and knew I wanted to try it myself . So from tomorrow I will come up with my own six monochromatic meals.
