Feasting on Art, a Food Blog of Fine Art, Photography, and Recipes

There are many recipe blogs out there, but Feasting on Art sets itself apart by featuring recipes based on works of fine art. In each of her posts, photographer and food lover Megan Fizell deconstructs famous still lifes for an accompanying recipe and shares information about the painting, the artist, and the cuisine. Of course, there's also beautiful photography that mimics the painting she features and shows the final result of the recipe. You get an art and cooking lesson in each post!...

Trader Joe's Culinary Compendium Flyer

Trader Joe's Fearless Flyers are always a fun flip-through, and most recently, the Joe created a Culinary Compendium (divided up by regions depending on product availability). Things to look out for: a man with a monocle explaining stuffed olive etiquette, the Latin etymology of "butter lettuce," and a marinara sauce riddle.

Portrait of Obama Made Out of Cereal

Photographs from Amy Cheng "Breakfast of Champions" by artists Hank Willis Thomas and Ryan Alexiev is a portrait of President Barack Obama made out of cereal: The sugary sweet mosaic, made of thousands of cereal bits, depicts idea of what a healthily balanced breakfast (democracy) might look like when considering the role that marketing plays in myth building around corporate and political brands. The portrait appeared at The Armory Show in New York City this past weekend. You can buy a print of the portrait from Cerealart.com. Check out more cereal art at ryanalexiev.com.

Washington Post's 2009 Peeps Diorama Contest Now Accepting Entries

Last year's winner, "The Tomb of King Peepankhamun." Some would argue that Peeps are edible, others would say they're perfect objects for arts and craft projects. Behold the Washington Post’s Third Annual Peeps Diorama Contest, now accepting entries. The diorama should encapsulate a famous event or concept, whether past, present, or future. Judging by the last two years, timely is good, but not too predictable (SlumPeep Millionaire could be overblown). Since it's judged by the D.C.-area hometown paper, any D.C. references are good. Punny titles are also appreciated. Though the contest is open to anyone in the U.S., the five finalists must reside in D.C., Maryland, or Virginia. Photo submissions are due by 11:59 p.m. March 15; send in...

A Waitress Sketches Her Clientele

Artist Anna Magnowska may be taking down your order, but she's also noting your facial contortions and talk bubbles. "Check this ring out...that would cost a year's wages for you! See what you get if you find yourself a rich man (another glass of bubbly please)." Tipsy/well-fed people say the darnedest things. Her series of sketches reminds me of the HBO hidden-camera series Taxicab Confessions. [via Made in England]...

Food Art by Julie Rothhahn

"Pâtadoigts" and "Cartes à manger". French culinary designer Julie Rothhahn makes interactive, edible objects out of food. My favorites are her emotive thimble-like "pasta fingers" and her connectable cookies. She also has a series of photo illustrations that focuses on animals as food, like snails made out of garlic and parsley butter.
