With my current enthusiasm for cooking, I’ve been looking at a lot of cooking and recipe sites, which meant I was lucky enough to come across Recipelook.co.uk. This is a sweet site – one of my favourites - in which readers send in drawings and diagrams of their favourite recipes.
The idea is to use as little text as possible and some of the artists have come up with some really creative ways of presenting their recipes.
Some of these are so pretty I want to print them off and frame them somewhere in my kitchen!
Ultimately, these are a good way for culinary clutz’ like me to understand nice, simple recipes, without too much confusion.

I was lucky enough to be able to interview Brighton-based artist, Imbue, at the end of last year for a feature I was putting together. He manages to very cleverly subvert messages and images through graffiti, stickers and prints and I’ve become a big fan of his work.
A lot of street art I’ve been lucky enough to see in Brighton has really impressed me, it’s a genre of art and design that tends to strikes a chord and forces people to notice what’s around them. Imbue manages to transfer the same sort of style into screen-printed images that can look great in the home.
In fact, I’ve already got my eye on this rather sexy new print he’s putting together – the one pictured is layered on steel:
And are some of my faves from his past work – I particularly like his manipulation of the WKD poster, it was hard hitting enough that WKD themselves sent Imbue a letter asking him to revoke his prints – what a cheeky scamp that Imbue is…
