This is the first time I have have sat down and drawn my ideas for a dish on paper,prior to making a dish. I don't have a lot of people to fall back upon to critic my ideas.

Best I can think of is balance flavors and try..

Sweet, salty/brine, acidity, color, texture, presentation.

Currently trying to do something with..

Scallops, tangerines ( I got some killer Pixie T's ), risotto and arugula

Not culinary trained..

I'm not finding on the web what, I'm looking for..

Curious

I'm not sure what you are asking for? Examples of sketches of food ideas, or someone to look at what you are thinking?

if the first, It's something i'm interested in too, ever since I saw the Notebooks of Michel Bars http://www.amazon.co...s/dp/1931605041



If it's the second, post and see what happens!

I'm more interested in the first idea too, and that is what you book suggests.
