These images are from Elle Spain’s April issue. The worlds leading fashion designers interpreted in Disney style by Ulrich Schröder. Featured in his cartoon spread are Karl Lagerfeld, John Galliano, Marc Jacobs, John Paul Gaultier, Dolce & Gabbana and Donnatella Versace just to list a few. I thought they were really fun and I love the old school illustration techniques it reminds of my childhood.

I am always on the lookout for some new healthy recipes to try and these look delicious. They are full of flavor and simple fresh ingredients, I am going to try and make them all in the coming weeks.

This soup just has a handful of ingredients and can be served hot or cold and paired with a crusty baguette seems perfect.

Hand set type is very intricate and the natural flaws are what make it so beautiful and interesting. These are a handful of images that show just how unique type can be. Unfortunately I don’t remember where I found these images so I can not give credit to the designers, they have been sitting on my very cluttered desktop for months now.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am pretty obsessed with packaging. I will buy items strictly because of the packaging, be it beauty products, food, novelty items pretty much anything if it is nicely designed. If you want to excel your product and showcase the content a certain way to do that is to spend just as much effort on the packaging as you did on the product itself. Below are my recent food packaging favorites. These can all be found in the archives of the most amazing packaging blog. The Dieline
A calorie conscious chocolate bar that is sophisticated and doesn’t scream out I am eating a diet chocolate, It is lovely and the palette is charming.
BONBON AU CHOCOLAT is a packaging concept for “die Wäscherei” – a Lifestyle and funky furniture store in Europe. This shows an animal like instinct for devouring chocolate which I can certainly identify with.
Made in small batches in the Suffolk countryside, this line has a great color palette and will demand a strong shelf presence.
International Design Consultancy P&W has designed a new range of Kids’ cereals for Tesco’s fast-growing US chain Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Market. The Fresh & Easy products are free of artificial colorings and flavors and contain less sugar than many of the mainstream brands.
The re-branding of Jell-o sought to recreate the classic feeling of joy the dessert had brought to previous generations without relying on nostalgia. The simple graphic fruit characters, bright color-palette and naive typography makes the brand feel playful and pop without veering into overtly saccharine or Saturday morning cartoon territory. Designed by Skinny Ships / Richard Perez.
This frozen line is just great, simple and modern and they use the freshest ingredients.
Pandora Bell is an artisan confectionery brand from the West of Ireland, their chocolates are of the highest quality and their packaging spares no expense. They use vintage packaging techniques and patterns but with a modern twist. Just divine.
These snacks sold in the UK have such a fun label and I just love the frosted packaging which also serves to preserve freshness and flavor.
Sugar packaging by Émilie Bertrand-Villemure. They look like “lady products” but are actually sugar spheres and each are enhanced with subtle and delicate fragrances.
Giving spices a face lift, and taking them out of the back of home cooks spice cupboard and bringing them into daily dishes. By giving them a graphic gesture and a modular box shape allow for very interesting geometrical configuration and the copy on the back of each box lists how to use each spice.
New work from The Engine Room: “Nature’s Agave Nectars are premium, certified organic, and made from 100% Weber Blue Agave – absolutely the highest quality agave nectar available. So delicious, and 30 – 40% sweeter than sugar, you use less therefore saving calories, while reducing sugar intake.” Now that sounds sweet to me.

My boyfriend and I had a taco night dinner party, and it was absolutely delicious. We made carne asada steak with fresh made corn tortillas. Spicy Mexican black beans, cilantro rice, fresh guacamole, salsa, and all the toppings. We also made home-made margaritas that turned out fabulous. We finished the meal with sliced mangoes and a dash of chili powder. In the business of preparing a meal for 9 people, some of the photos did not turn out that great and in our excitement we forgot to capture a few of the steps and the finished outcome. But here are some shots of another successful dinner party.

This is an illustration by the illustrator Francisco Perez, I like the soft tone over the entire image and the contrast of the mechanical and the natural.

I love that this looks like a little model or a bunch of cut out shapes taped together.
