Colour Test - Recipe Title

I feel like I'm moving forward again. Thanks very much to Moon who got me over an initial illustrator hump. I'm now immersed in beginner tutorials and making some progress. It took me a few weeks of floundering to be able to really look at, to be able to see, the UI elements as malleable. The UI examples I'm researching still seem a million miles away from soemthing I can emulate but I'm starting to identify sub-components of the  UI.

I've tried to warp the text to give the cauliflower form. I've been inspired by Tufte's example of a centaur from 9th century, before printing presses required a split between text and images. (Tufte, 2006)
