5.0 out of 5 starsThis book is a treat
By Parka TOP 50 REVIEWER on December 6, 2013
Format: Hardcover
Length: 1:34 Mins
In February 2010, Nate Padavick and Salli Swindell started a blog called They Draw & Cook for people to share their illustrated cooking recipes. They have since collected over hundreds of them and this book features 107. Wow! That will take a a while to cook all of them.

Each artist featured has their own unique style and it's delightful to look through all of them. The illustrations are beautiful, fun and sometimes humourous. You can't be sure who's cooking. It could be a 16-arm chef for one recipe, and the next might be a rabbit and raccoon teaming up to dish out something. Or even the ingredients themselves, they might look too cute to be cooked.

Some of the recipe titles are pretty fun too. Chicken in Love, Starving Artist Goo-lash, Top Model Salad.

They are lots of illustrative stuff to check out. Many are created in traditional medium for the extra textural appearance.

If you're in the mood for some cooking, get this book and give it a go.

Check out more artworks and recipes at They Draw & Cook website or their Twitter page, or even submit your own.

(There are more pictures of the book on my blog. Just visit my Amazon profile for the link.)

By Psalm Reader on November 28, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
They Draw and Eat is one of those books I bought because someone I know has an entry in it, and I wanted to encourage her efforts. It came today and is LOVELY! It's deliciously thick and well constructed with great drawings throughout. It's colorful and enticing! Wonderful gift for lovers of food, art, or ethnic diversity.

this book is outrageous-beautiful-wonderful.
I bought 3 copies last week and friends are fighting over them- so it looks like I will have to buy a few more for Christmas presents!
The illustrations are gorgeous, the recipes are fantastic--- it's a total homerun.

5.0 out of 5 starsdelicious fun for hungry eyes and mouths!
By liberal sprinkles on October 12, 2011
Format: Hardcover
If you like food or art, dip into this yummy book. There're 107 recipes, all beautifully illustrated by artists from around the world. Need breakfast? How about madeleines? Looking for a more filling meal? Try the black bean chicken soup or pan-fried fish with lemon caper sauce. Prefer vegetarian? There's the colcannon - it's fat-free too. All the better to finish it all off with a rich chocolate crepe or (and??) coconut macaroons.

They Draw and Cook is a fun, colorful and creative cook book, the first spawn of the marvellous blog of the same name which is now home to several thousand recipes contributed by a variety of people. Not all are professional artists, some are folks who just love to eat or draw. The recipes featured in the book are not new, but they are still a yummy feast for the eyes. It's just too bad the book is such a lean sampling of the blog's offerings! I don't envy Nate Padavick and Salli Swindell (the brother-and-sister design team who created the blog) the tough job they must have had whittling down the list of recipes to include in the publication. If you're unhappy just skimming the surface, go over to the blog to indulge yourself.

The final selection includes recipes that should please most palates, satisfy sweet cravings, feed regular daily needs as well as cater to special occasions. The book includes everything from dips and snacks to main courses, desserts and cocktails. The foods offered for your viewing and cooking pleasures originate from all over the world, so unless you hate to experiment, They Draw and Cook is a delicious resource for different cuisines. The recipes lean towards the visual - the art is often the dominant element but the recipes are for the most part simple to follow. Another tasty thing about this collection is the range of artistic styles: there's pretty, there's stylish, there's cartoonish and there's cute. Overall, it's stuffed full of gorgeousness.

One to keep and gift.

5.0 out of 5 starsCreatively inspiring!
By Skyjules on October 21, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
The website is great, but it's so awesome to have all of these works of art in person to pour over and over! Amazing - What a great gift this book will make - but gift yourself first. All the different styles of art, it really is an inspiration to me first as an artist but also as a chef. I love the design of the book - the size, the extra thick covers and I love how it opens up and each art/recipe spread out across both pages.

5.0 out of 5 starsWhat a cool book!
By mirogljm on December 21, 2011
Format: Hardcover Verified Purchase
This is such a unique book. One of my friends is an artist and also likes to cook, so I thought this would make a great Christmas present for her. She loved it! The book itself is very sturdy, with thick board covers. I think this book is more about the illustrations than the recipes, but there are definitely some tasty-looking recipes in this book. Highly recommended for a gift, or for yourself!

5.0 out of 5 starsAdorable
By Lucia on October 10, 2011
Format: Hardcover
I stumbled on this great book for the first time at BrainPickings.com and after discovering more about the project and seeing a great design of the web page I was totally convinced to purchase this great work of art.
I really do appreciate the attitude: combination of art, cookery passion and writing style. I do recommend to all foodies, art and fun lovers. As we all know that cooking is art and vice versa.
