For the Food Geometry challenge! The first thing I thought of when I read about this challenge was the pleasing symmetry and beautiful variety of shapes and colors of citrus fruit. Yellow grapefruit, ruby red grapefruit, navel oranges, blood oranges, tangerines, lemons, limes, kumquats and more!

All types of citrus designed as a geometric pattern

The recipe I chose is the recipe of Bing Tanghulu, a traditional Chinese treat similar to British toffee apples. It is made by hawthorns with rock sugar. I chose to illustrate a recipe for this food because it reminds me of my childhood in the winter in China. I remember begging my mom to buy one for me when I was little, and I would be happy for the whole day if I got one. I believe all people from Northern China have similar memory as I have since it is one of the most popular treats in the winter. The recipe is very simple, the only ingredients it needs are hawthorns or whatever kinds of fruits you like (my favorite is strawberry), rock sugar and bamboo sticks.

Tropical fruit tossed in vibrant colors demonstrate the excitement of eating colorfully and healthfully.
