Right now we have 5 sub-galleries without further division:
Desserts
"Desserts that encompass cake, candy, pie, pastries, fruit, pudding, ice cream, cookies, or any other food served as the final course of a meal."
Food Art
"Featuring edible food that fits no other sub-category such as ice sculptures, beverages, bread, side dishes, appetizers/canapés/hors d'oeuvres, etc"
Main Dishes
"Main dishes include anything served for breakfast, lunch, and dinner as the main course of the meal."
Miscellaneous
Pumpkin Carving
"Photographs of personally carved or decorated pumpkins."
For something as wide and varied as food many people agreed that they're insufficient, and a lot of things end up being mis-categorized or going to miscellaneous. Of course we want to read the community's concerns and ideas on this issue, so don't hesitate to give your opinion they are all going to be considered.
Some changes that have already been suggested and we're asking for more feedback:
- Re-structuring all the galleries, but how? All suggestions are very welcome!
- Change the Pumpkin Carving gallery to "Seasonal" gallery, to include other seasonal foods like Easter Eggs, Gingerbread Houses, etc OR change it to the "Carving" gallery to include carved fruits, carved ice, etc.
- Changing the name of the "Main Dishes" gallery to include salads, soups, etc.
- Sub-galleries for desserts. Although, are there enough submissions to justify further division? We already received a suggestion for "Candies and Chocolate", what else?
- A gallery for drinks and another one for bento.
Those are just a few ideas, if you have anything to say speak up now, this is your moment to be heard
we will read and consider all comments, be sure of that ![]()
Also, don't forget that Community Week at #projecteducate is starting soon! I really wish I could participate, the past two times were so much fun... but well in case anyone wants to join you can find info here just send them a note with your idea!








and a Fruits category
something like an appetizer gallery and/or side dishes to include salads, soups, hors d'oeuvre, etc.
the Main dishes category is ok, as long as there are other galleries more specific for the rest.
Definitely Drinks and Bento (or maybe Bento and Picnic, I hope I don't offend anyone by putting those 2 together XD)
The word "Carving" in "Pumpkin Carving" is too specific. A Seasonal category with sub-categories for the different holidays would be great (although ppl might get confused if there's another category to submit cookies, for example where to put the x-mas cookies).
maybe Decoration? for food that's less meant to be eaten than more to please the eye.
but where to put bread or cheese?
YES --- Changing the name of the "Main Dishes" gallery to include salads, soups, etc.
YES --- Sub-galleries for desserts. Although, are there enough submissions to justify further division? We already received a suggestion for "Candies and Chocolate", what else?
YES --- A gallery for drinks and another one for bento.
I should've prepared a list for this but here are my suggestions so far:
- Cake Decorating (for fondant, gum paste, buttercream etc)
- Showpieces (chocolate, pulled sugar etc)
- Drinks (mixed drinks, latte art etc)
- Bento (lunch boxes etc)
- Fruit Carving (not just pumpkin, there are melon carvings etc)
- Cookies (cookies and cookie decoration)
- Chocolate (truffles)
- Pies (pies, handpies etc)
- Sushi
- Recipes
- Egg Decorating (Easter Eggs, Egg faces etc)
- Bread and Doughs (bread bunnies etc)
- Candies
Are you suggesting the rest of them as galleries? Because I think that's a looooooooot of them to be the main galleries on culinary arts.
