Illustration for 'Culinary Dead Ends' by assorted writers for Vittles, London

I loved creating this illustration for 'Culinary Dead Ends' for a Vittles piece that includes contributions by Apoorva Sripathi, Aaron Vallance, Jason Okundaye and Anna Parker. I developed the idea from the Jonathan's idea of a culinary family tree. I drew each active hand accompanied by a slowly dying plant entwined around the hands. I was sent a selection of the pieces and focussed on Ovocne knedliky (Czech dumplings with apricots, Anna Parker), blood filloas (Marie Anne Benavente) and Algerian couscous variations (Leila Gamaz).
