Highlights: Food As Art

Published on October 4, 2010 By Emily. Updated on October 4, 2010

Food is delicious, but sometimes it’s also really cool just to look at.   This week, it seemed like there was a lot of food related art floating around the internet.  Maybe this week I can work on my plating and presentation and make my food look prettier.

Endless Simmer featured some impressive photos from Canstruction.  Who knew canned goods were good for more than quick dinners?  Maybe that’d be a good way to rationalize doing more stockpiling.

IKEA’s new cookbook has gotten quite a bit of buzz, even though it’s not available in the United States yet.  Take a look at the illustrations and you’ll understand why. (via HuffPo)

The corn mazes on mental_floss made me glad it’s fall.  Maybe I need to go get lost in a corn maze.  I feel like it’d be good for my brain.

Cake Wrecks’ weekly “Sunday Sweets” column of beautiful cakes is always good, but this week’s collection of peacock cakes was especially gorgeous.

The Museum of Arts and Design currently has an exhibit called Eat Drink Art Design featuring tableware designed by Roy Lichtenstein, Keith Haring and Dale Chihuly, among others.  Very cool looking. (via Diner’s Journal)

(Almost) Every Sunday, I choose a theme and highlight blog posts, websites and news articles from my Google Reader which I found interesting (and hope you do too!) If you want more reading, check out “What I’m Reading” on my sidebar.  And don’t forget to add Relishments to your reader or like Relishments on Facebook!

My top 9 of 2020. In typical 2020 fashion, I had a My top 9 of 2020.
In typical 2020 fashion, I had all kinds of issues getting my Top 9 created this year and this image still has problems. 
But the images are accurate and nicely summarize the year - take out from local establishments (@aokberkshirebbq, @thebreakroomgw, @northadamsfarmersmarket), #RelishmentsBakes projects, the natural beauty of the Berkshires and our successful container garden.

Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting Apparently, in the weirdness that is 2020, posting to my Instagram feed was one of the things that didn't make the cut. There are more items than I'd prefer in that category, but recently I've felt like I'm beginning to get my feet firmly planted beneath me again. This fall was so busy with learning how to teach remotely and parent 2 children well. I don't anticipate that life will ever feel not busy, but I've been able to carve out some time lately for activities I've been missing. Making bread is one of those activities. Hopefully, more posts in the feed will be more frequent going forward.

#sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately #sponsored All the time we've spent at home lately has definitely had me looking to expand the snack options in my pantry.  I jumped at the chance to try these @sunmaid Sour Raisins  and they immediately became one of my daughter's favorite snacks. She likes them because they're reminiscent of candy, I like them because they're technically fruit and they come prepackaged for easy snacking and taking on the go. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty they are!

This weekend's weather was amazing and my family e This weekend's weather was amazing and my family embarked on the only way to kick off fall: we went apple picking at Jaeschke Orchards in Adams.  The parking lot was full, but out in the orchard we hardly came across any other groups.  The trees were heavy with apples and we quickly filled our bag. Looking forward to apples for snacks, pie, crisp and turnovers in the coming weeks.
