They Draw and Cook

They Draw and Cook: Alya Mark, Emilia Szewczyk, Krista Hamrick, Jennifer Lorton, Abz Hakim, Johnathan Hawker, Aneu Martinez, Michael Robertson
They Draw and Cook is a great idea, a series of short recipes submitted by illustrators and other artists who cook (or cooks who illustrate), accompanied by or in the form of illustrations, and served up fresh daily in blog form.

The entries are varied in both illustration style and approach to food and drink, making a nice stew of topics and images. The images are reasonably large (much larger then my small previews above); and the entries include the location of the artists, who are from around the globe, as well as links to their websites or blogs; so They Draw and Cook also serves as an illustration blog with links to lots of artwork and portfolios.

Note that it may be easy to miss the link to older posts, as it is small and not quite at the bottom of the page (above the “Submit a Recipe” section).

They Draw and Cook is maintained by the brother/sister design and illustration team of Nate Padavick and Salli Swindell, who comprise Studio SSS. Salli also writes the wonderfully titled blog manic expressive.

It looks like the authors are planing a print version of the idea, their submission requirements include permission to use the material in print and ask the artists to consider the gutter in their design.

Padavick and Swindell also maintain a charming offshoot blog, Kids Draw and Cook.

  5. I love the one from Emilia Szewczyk. I clicked through to the recipe site, then to her site. I love her sense of humour/despair. (And no I’m not a friend, but I’ve just re-read my comment and it sounds like I might be her mother!)
