Arranging a meal from several simple ingredients would indeed be interesting. I have only basic experience in cooking and already know that it is rather technical than intuitive. Yet...
It is very technical so far but I know it doesn't have to be. The recipe for mixed nuts proves that. It gives you a guide, but there is more than one ingredient combination that make it. And as for the ornamentation, Thanks.
I found a plate online with a gold border so I did that. Then I though it would look better rimmed with gold on the out side. The Red part was a last minute addition and it didn't go around the plate as well as I wanted. There is a spot where it doesn't line up like it does around the rest of the plate. The borders were the hard part. I had to practically hand place each piece of it. The gold border took the longest time.
this reminds me Pizza Tycoon 
You had that pizza in front of you and you were smashing at it lots o ingredients. Could be fun in PS
Well, this would be mostly for holding complete parts of a meal. Like a plate with morning bread, scrambled eggs, crumbled cheese for the eggs) and maybe mashed joopiner berries. The scrambled eggs and morning bread are complete, but the mashed joopiner berries and crumbled cheese could be used in other recipes.
Maybe in the very middle of the plate there should be a textbox that would work like a little book. It would allow you to describe the meal on the plate and it's arrangement. This would be nice for classy, sit down meals for RPers.
I'm considering doing a matching glass container so when we have more drinks you can organize glasses instead of the bottle it comes in.
