They Draw & Cook: Recipes Illustrated by Artists from Around the World
By Len Kendall
There are countless individuals in this world who love to cook. There are also copious amounts of doodlers out there. Once in a while, a magical intersection of two such groups occurs, and luckily for them, and more-so, for us, a digital venue exists to celebrate the fusion of the two.
They Draw & Cook is essentially a recipe site that features cuisines from around the world, but its beauty and differentiation is that all the recipes are illustrated. As opposed to the text-heavy format for recipes we’re all used to, the illustrated approach challenges foodies to simply demonstrate the process for cooking a dish, but also telling a story about that dish: Its origins, its ingredients, and perhaps even the feelings and memories that come about when smelling them.
Even for those of us who aren’t interested in doing much cooking ourselves, the site is an absolute treat of unique hand-drawn visual art.
Every three days, six new visual recipes are posted. So go ahead and add this to your reading list if you’re interested in challenging your taste buds, or need inspiration for your shiny new Moleskine.
