Homemade pizza with pesto sauce, mozzarella, tomato and topped with courgette flowers for a fun and delicious twist.

I have collaged some of my handrawn watercolor flowers for this edible flowers challenge
I always wanted to collect all of them and arrange it in a journal
I just did digitally

Bunnies and flowers, idyllic garden and beautiful spring.

I’m always looking for ways to use the trifle bowl I inherited from my mom. What a fun way to display edible flowers! I think this would make the perfect spring dessert, with a little sip of limoncello on the side ; )

A garden full of edible flowers, great for the bees and for you & me!

Handpicked edible flowers by the most adorable bees you ever did see.

Who new that tasty could be so beautiful! This is my entry for edible designs inspired by all the colors and taste that nature offers us.

I love illustrating birds and flowers
This challenge is perfect for my style
Can’t wait to draw few more for this challenge

Bright colored edibles adorn dessert tarts, and pavlova and more!

I am dreaming of Spring when all the trees will flourish.
For the Edible Flowers Challenge

Edible flowers on a cake, cookies, and cupcakes.

When I think about edible flowers, picnicking with several friends and lying on flowers always comes to my mind.

Edible Flower Challenge.

Anise Hyssop was named the 2019 Herb of the Year by the International Herb Association for excellence in all three categories: culinary, decorative and medicinal! I thought we should celebrate this designation with anise hyssop parfaits. Why are there three parfaits in this drawing? Breakfast, lunch, and dinner, of course!

After taking a semester of courses in multimodal communication a few years ago, I remained fairly confused about the concept....or at least a concrete definition of the term. At long last I think I have a solid example! This sketch (visual mode) was completely inspired by sound (auditory mode). The ear informing the eye....all in the name of food imagery. I feel like Newton, except I'm eating the apple.

So, what inspired this pepper jungle parrot habitat you ask? An episode of my fave podcast, The Splendid Table titled, Peppers, Onions & Butter (you had me at Peppers, Onions & Butter, legit).

The episode opens with host Francis Lam welcoming the listener into a room brought alive with teetering piles of French copper cookware, colourful macaws, a jungle of lush pepper plants. The visual achieved through sound with this episode transported me to an enchanted kitchen somewhere in New Jersey. I was driving when I first heard this description of Latin food scholar and chef Maricel Presilla’s cooking space (also the author of seminal cookbook on Latin cooking, Gran Cocina Latina: The Food of Latin America - if you don't have one, I highly recommend!). I pulled over, scribbled down some ideas in lip liner on a paper lunch bag that was (thankfully) in the passenger seat and peeled away, fervently inspired to sketch this rich, warm, beautifully described scene. Give the episode (#636) a listen, well worth it.
