Rice spiced with chili oil, black truffle, kurkuma and fresh parsil
Playing with your food is no longer a faux pas—especially when you're as talented as food stylist De Meal Prepper. Her animal-inspired arrangements go beyond your average dinner plate and rise to the level of edible art. Using a combination of rice, vegetable purees, and spices, she forms three-dimensional portraits that look almost too cute to eat.
De Meal Prepper forms her food with a realistic style and a painterly touch. Doing both of these things is not an easy feat; to marry all the colors and textures that are happening on a single plate, the food artist uses spices as watercolor pigments to make her shadows appear deeper and the highlights brighter. In the case of animals with unique markings—like a tiger—spices also help to showcase these characteristics.
