When my former co-worker Bobby mentioned a project he's involved with I was struck by how narrow-minded I was about needing visual imagery to go along with my recipes. I always expect a pretty photograph of the completed dish but Bobby and the people behind They Draw and Cook, (a fantastic website with a book coming out soon), showed me there are zillions of ways to illustrate a recipe beyond a standard styled food photo.
They Draw and Cook is a collection of recipes illustrated by artists around the world and it's just as much fun to look at the recipes as I imagine it is to make them. I would love to have a whole bunch of these hanging around my kitchen. Here are a few examples of what they have collected. Go to their website to check out even more recipes conveniently sorted by type. Poke around and you'll see they have a few other projects that are equally visually appealing. Very cool stuff!
