Type a direction, such as for Cuba, and the same menu carries it.

Frequently asked questions

Which dishes are on each menu?

Can I change the dishes?
Type a direction such as for Cuba and the menu is made for that dinner. It is a request, not a promised dish list.
What is the difference between the three styles?
Papel picado has cut-paper patterns across the top in magenta, orange, turquoise and gold. Black and gold uses a gold script title on matte black. Rustic table has a hand-lettered title and herb sketches on cream.

About toile

This page is a showcase and a starting point: nine samples already rendered, three readings of the pack crossed with three styles, each shown at the size and ratio it was made for. Take any of them further on the wall with a few words, or ask for all nine again under your own direction; a sign-in keeps what you make, and it is free while Toile is new. The recipe behind each sample — the subject, the style, the palette, the framing — travels with the image rather than staying private to the render: it is in the alt text of every sample and in the page's own structured data, so a search engine reads the same handles a person would.
