ArtEat

7th November 2026

With everyone getting ready to head to my mine to drill to the centre of the Earth, my mind turned to only one thing.

The number one priority...

What to cook everyone for dinner.

If you were suddenly going to have a number of guests over, some of whom were a robot and a gerbil, you might panic, cry, lie on the floor and scream.

But not me.

Because I simply turn to my invention, ArtEat.

ArtEat is a cookbook with a difference. Every single recipe is based on a famous painting.

Let me give you an example.

Say, for example, you take the painting The Basket of Apples by Paul Cézanne.

On one side of the book is a picture of the painting, and on the other is the detailed recipe.

Here it is.

Ingredients

27 apples

Instructions

Place a basket on the table.

Put 14 apples into the basket.

Put the remaining apples on the table near the basket.

As you can see, it's really easy to follow, even for quite complicated recipes like that one.

Now, I will admit there is one major drawback with ArtEat.

Famous artists haven't tended to paint much really nice food.

It's all apples in baskets, people eating potatoes, or cans of soup that aren't even open.

But on the other hand, would it really make sense to have a recipe book containing recipes that haven't been painted by famous artists?

Of course not.

You wouldn't be able to call it ArtEat in that case.

So if you want to create delicious meals inspired by some of the greatest works of art in history, then get ArtEat today!

Note to self: Maybe for the next edition I could draw a picture of a pizza?
