Playing with one’s food is a favorite pastime for many. Few carry that over into adulthood, but we certainly appreciate when artists take food to another level (here and here and here).

Crowning Culinary Photography Achievements of Mathieu Lévesque

The work of Montreal-based Mathieu Lévesque is, quite simply, a masterclass in food photography. We are in awe of Lévesque’s ability to apply his own creative vision to everything he (re)touches.

Fantastic Food Typography

We always appreciate inventive and surprising typography, and this is a great example by South African designer/illustrator Vus Ngxande.
