A FEW DELIGHTFUL FOOD ILLUSTRATIONS

Good old favourite nasturtiums, always at the ready to brighten a winters day     Illustrations by Esther Cooper- Wood

Recently I was lucky enough to be contacted by Esther Cooper-Wood, a visiting food illustrator from England. She was interested in doing a little foraging during her stay in Cape Town. We agreed that she would join us during a few routine foraging missions and in return she would represent her experience with some drawings for our use. All in all it turned out to be a rather happy arrangement for both parties.

While Esther was here we managed a couple of outings. The first was a costal mission and the second a brief neighborhood exploration.

Scattered about this blog are a few representations of our food adventures, quickly knocked up by Esther.
Enjoy…. I did.

A huge thanks to Esther for the fun times, fine bread baking, pesto making and of course for the beautiful illustrations.
