The Diva That Ate New York // Recipes

I designed RECI-tees, which have food illustrations on the front and recipes on the back, to encourage folks to cook. How hard can a recipe that fits on the back of T-shirt be to make? I like to treat recipes as a color palette with the dish as my original painting. The basic color scheme is there, but it’s up to me to create my own work of art. Like my grandmother Maude, who hardly ever wrote a recipe down, I tend toward the “a bit of this and a bit of that” school of cooking. With the Internet, I like to download about four or five recipes and take what I like best from each, and then add my own twists. Whatever I have written here, take as just a guide—don’t be afraid to improvise!
