thanks tri2cook ribbons: carrot juice (my local grocery store, on a college campus, had pathetic looking carrots and i was lazy...i liked odwalla's better than bolthouse farm's, but both are 100% carrots, nothing else), 1.5% gelatin, 0.5% agar. I got this ratio from Michael Laiskonis's blog (he made grapefruit "film"), and it was really good. The ribbons were nice and flexible and were easily drapeable. Someone with steadier hands than I could have made this a lot prettier. ghee: yup, maltodextrin (free from national starch's website!) clementine gel is just juiced clementines and 2% agar (the acidity requires double the usual), set in the fridge and then pureed and loaded into a squirt bottle. the cashew barfi is actually another example of me cheating: I used my mom's.
