Above are some detail shots from a few of the things I’m working on right now. I’ve been spending a good deal of time looking at images of food and other stuff with physical properties that induce some sort of something in me that probably adds up to more than would make sense if I tried to explain it in words right now so I won’t try. I have a slideshow of mostly food related photos I play in a loop while I’m painting, and foodgawker.com is fast becoming a favorite destination. As an unexpected perk of this image sourcing, I’ve discovered a few wonderful recipes. This tomato sauce/soup is probably my favorite so far. It makes a perfect sauce for so many meals! Hope you’re all happy and well fed this weekend.

But Is It Art: Salami and Jewish Cuisine

Posted in Art with tags , , , on April 14, 2010 by jdhastings

Today’s New York Times leads an article on the survival of Jewish Delis by noting that the Berkeley deli Saul’s had pulled Salami off it’s menu in November until it could find a sustainable way to make it.

From there the article traces the hardships traditional Jewish delis have faced recently with the changing face of food realities. A new breed is attempting to reform and save the cuisine through new techniques of food preparation and service.

There is a particularly mouth watering section that talks about how to make good Pastrami.

Side note: As it happens, Saul’s deli is right up the street from me and has very good pickles and latkes. Its sandwiches are good too, but feel overpriced. Their eggs and onion breakfast is fantasic. As are their lox. And coffee.

well YES, this time it is!

I came across Anna The Red’s Bento Factory blog while perusing art related blogs here on WordPress. Anna is a visual artist who makes the most adorable, impressively crafted Japanese lunch boxes ever! She creates everything from farm animals to anime characters out of healthy, delicious looking food. Her most recent bento features a parade of edible characters from Maurice Sendak’s childrens book Where the Wild Things Are!

“But Is It Art?”: the Bacon Cheese Weave

Posted in "But Is It Art?", Food with tags , , , , , on December 18, 2008 by jdhastings

I’ve seen many arguments as to the definition or categorization of art. Different people have different takes, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. I thought it might be fun (or infuriating- same dif) to occasionally examine the issue as it comes up.

Today’s entry?


The Cheese-filled Bacon Blanket (and a separate entity- the Meat Cake), as posted on the excellent (and usually a little healthier) food blog Thought for Food, who found it at Foodproof.
