When it comes to the culinary arts, you often hear chefs talking about their food as if they are just that—works of art. However, after a while, one comes to reconcile the fact that to a certain extent, this is just a figure of speech. After all, art is a whole different medium, while cooking deals with its own rules and regulations.
Then again, every now and then an exceptional chef comes along that defies everything we thought we knew about cooking. Mary Pope is one of those very chefs—because after looking at what she does, we finally understand what it means for a food dish to be a work of art.
On Pope’s Instagram page, which is titled “Pretty N’ Delish”, she shares all kinds of insane recipes she’s prepared. The more you scroll through her various posts, it becomes quite clear why this talented woman has thousands of followers. Each one of her concoctions are beautiful, brilliant masterpieces that are treats for the eyes as well as the taste buds.
She comes up with all kinds of creative ideas, from the “carrot cake with a chocolate nest” to a roasted purple cauliflower that resembles a bonsai tree. Pope masterfully blurs the line between food and life itself, and we’re here for all of it. If you’re interested in staying updated with Pope’s work, make sure to give her a follow!
