"What garlic is to food, insanity is to art."

They Draw and Cook: The art world intersects with the food community at They Draw & Cook, a clever blog started earlier this year by sibling design and illustration team Nate Padavick and Salli Swindell (together they run Studio SSS). Each day, They Draw & Cook features a new recipe illustration by a practicing artist, illustrator, or designer. The recipes vary in both style and content and are submitted from all over the world.

These are so cute - and in addition to being a cute blog concept, it leads to some pretty fun illustrator portfolios - I really like the art for the pumpkin gnocchi by Emilia Szewczyk... also love the Rootin' Tootin' beans art.

The Kids Draw & Cook section is adorable too.

Fun find - thank you Fizz.

Maybe I'll send in a recipe.

As long as you're okay with the fine print:

"What garlic is to food, insanity is to art."

So, often over-used to the point of monotony without any consideration for subtlety or nuance?

In a medium saucepan, cover one dozen fresh kneaded erasers with olive oil. Stir over low heat until melted before folding in the 2B pencil shavings.

The quotation or garlic?
