Art as food. Simple idea, brilliant execution. Photographer Megan Fizell has been cooking up exquisite edible adaptations of classic still lifes and sculptures, blogging her culinary experiments in glorious detail over at Feasting on Art. Under her capable hands, Van Gogh’s Red Poppies and Daisies becomes lemon poppyseed bread with blueberry honey butter. Fernando Botero’s juicy watermelon still life is a zesty watermelon margarita.
Even Jeff Koons gets the treatment, his cast-iron moustache sculpture naturally transforming into a crunchy mostaccioli cookie. While few of the resulting foods bear much resemblance to their fine art forebearers, the art-themed spin on this tidy cooking blog is a clever hook that keeps us coming back for more. And the mouth-watering photographs don’t hurt, either.
