Illustrated Recipes

If you know me you’ll know I am passionate about home cooked food. So imagine my delight when I came across They Draw and Cook. They Draw and Cook is a web site that showcases illustrated recipes by artists from around the world!

I have now illustrated lots of favourite family recipes (check them out on my illustrated recipes page. Drawing recipes is great to develop drawing skills and experiment with new technique. You also learn a lot about layout, hand lettering and story telling. And I forgot to mention all the tasty recipes you get to cook and eat!

I like to use my illustrated recipes to experiment with layouts, hand lettering and new techniques. When I read about Penelope Dullaghan’s oil transfer technique, I decided it was time for a new illustrated recipe and an experiment.
