Some recipes deserve to be more than a screenshot

I hand-illustrate personal recipes — the messy, nostalgic, handwritten, passed-down kind — into custom artwork, printed and hand-assembled using layered paper to create a tactile, one-of-a-kind piece you can keep, gift, or hang in your kitchen. Made in Brisbane, shipped anywhere.

Some recipes are more than instructions…

They’re scribbled notes, substitutions, “a bit of this and that,” and the meals that quietly shaped us.

Whether it’s something passed down, half-remembered, or deeply specific to your family — I turn those recipes into illustrations that hold onto the feeling, not just the ingredients.

Recipe for baked chorizo risotto with ingredients list and cooking instructions

The Recipe

Your recipe can be handwritten, typed, half-remembered, or living in your notes app underneath seventeen screenshots of pasta. It can be stained, vague, or written in someone else's handwriting.

Honestly, the messier the better.

The Illustration

I illustrate each ingredient one by one, then arrange them until the whole thing holds together. Not just visually — it's the specific combination of these things that makes it yours.

The Physical Piece

The finished artwork is printed across various paper stocks — matte, gloss, transparent — and assembled by hand. No two are exactly alike — and that feels right for something this personal.

Not sure if your recipe counts? It does.

Illustrated grocery items on a pink surface, including baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, lemon wedges, a block of cheese, a bottle of beef broth, a yogurt container, a salt shaker, and a rolled-up yellow paper.

How it works:

  1. Purchase your commission

  2. Fill out a short form with your recipe and details

  3. I illustrate and build your piece

  4. Your finished artwork is shipped to you

Turnaround: 3-4 weeks

Each piece is made by hand, so I take on a limited number of commissions each month.
