They Draw and Cook: 107 Recipes Illustrated by Artists from Around the World

After starting their blog in February of 2010, Nate and Salli received hundreds of illustrated recipes from artists all over the world, which they decided to turn into a book. This book contains a sample of 107 of those illustrations that range in style from cute to goofy to absolutely gorgeous. The illustration styles range from elegant to cheeky, the recipes from drinks to desserts and everyday to extraordinary. You’ll find hilarious fare like Beetrooty-Yogurty-Thingummyji, Starving Artist Goo-lash, and Top Model Salad; international cuisine such as Moroccan Orange and Date Salad and Moules Frites; and tantalizing tastes like Marmalade Flapjacks and Chicken in Love. The perfect combination of flair and folly, this irresistible and colorful book will be a new favorite both in and out of the kitchen.

Nate Padavick (North Adams, MA) and Salli Swindell (Hudson, OH) are a brother/sister design team also known as Studio SSS. They founded the blog They Draw and Cook, conceived of as a place for anyone with a passion for art and cooking to show their love of both by bringing their favorite recipes to life through illustration. Salli lives in Hudson, OH and Nate lives in North Adams, MA, but even though they live in different cities they still easily manage their business together through daily bouts of over-caffeinated video chatting and barrages of goofy emails. "Having fun" is the driving factor behind much of the work they do, which is how They Draw and Cook got started in the first place!
