Just Another Manic Monday...Mash-up!

No need to mope over your coffee listening to ancient Bangles tracks mourning the weekend (but just for fun listen to this gem if you do! Maybe grab your black eyeliner and a crimper first. Tie on a bandanna if you are really feeling sassy).

I'm not sure that every Monday post will feature a mash-up of two good things rolled into one, but today's post just happens to be again and it IS Monday.

If ever you should need inspiration to cook something delicious or doodle something wildly creative or cook deliciousness while you draw, pick up this book!  A collection of beautifully illustrated recipes from artists around the world.  Food that tells a story, shares a memory, comes to life in the pages of this book.  I purchased this cookbook several years ago and it has been as much a piece of artwork open to any given page in our kitchen as it is a source of recipes to try.  This post from the TDAC website is a great starting point. Look at the pictures, search for something good to make, grab your sharpies and submit your own illustrated creation! For more Monday goodness, check out this iTunes preview for a look at, They Draw & Cook for Kids an illustrated iBook of 20 recipe drawings for kids available on your Mac or iOS device.
