They Draw and Cook 2

 

Here's the second tryout/submission for the They Draw and Cook website. This recipe came from Peiran. I'm here to tell you you won't find it in any Chinese restaurant anywhere in the UK, and it's absolutely delicious. Try it you should.

As an experiment, to see if cartoon recipes would work in my style, I tried producing a couple for the They Draw and Cook website. This is the first of two. Since this recipe came to us from our friend Clementina Carosi (and is a traditional dish from her part of Italy, Amatricia) I took the liberty of re-using a cartoon I previously drew of Clemy for her home cooking website.

So anyway, Antonella, myself and our friend Peiran were having a meal one day and decided to start a cookery blog, as you do. So I've been spending some of my spare time writing down traditional Chinese and Italian recipes courtesy of the ladies and turning them into step-by-step recipe cartoons. All recipes published in the blog have been tasted by me. I love my life.

Our friend Peiran just got her Phd! Yay!!

Antonella Graduated!

After a year's delay due to circumstances beyond her control, Antonella has graduated fro Lancaster University with an MA in Historical research - with distinction, I'll have you know. I'm tremendously proud of her. She's got the diploma framed and hanging on the wall next to her desk, and hanging right next to it is this drawing I did of her in her cap and gown.

She's wearing spotty pink wellies because she spent ages shopping for formal shoes to wear during the ceremony, and then ended up wearing an old pair because they were more comfortable. Just my little joke.
