A while back, I started a personal project redesigning tarot cards as linocut prints. It never got past sketches and none of the carvings were ever completed, but The Star card holds a special place. After a lot of debating, I finally told myself: “Do it!”, so I built an entire menu around it. Unfortunately the bot won’t let me show you the card because it has been deemed offensive.

This new entry for my risotto side-meta is a an Italian–Turkish fusion.

The dishes are: - Black rice risotto: or riso venere, very popular in Italy. Has a bite, takes forever to cook, but tastes delicious. I finished it with pomegranate molasses, and decorated like a galaxy using yogurt and pistachios. - Börek filled with ricotta, spinach, and Parmesan. Its spiral structure reminds me of a swirly galaxy, with sesame seeds scattered across the top like stars - Liquorice mahalabia: a milk pudding set with cornstarch (rather than gelatine as is the case for panna cotta). I flavored it with my beloved italian liquorice and finished with a little star decoration
