Press Sighting: Recipics

A formula for cooking: I (ingredients), M (measurements), T (tools), A (actions), and D (duration).

Sunday's T Living, the New York Times Style Magazine, includes a brief article I wrote about "recipics," recipes transformed into wordless diagrams. Graphic designer Lauren Bugeja started creating these recipes constructed of pictograms while she was a student at the University of Technology in Sydney, and is now developing the concept, in collaboration with designers Thomas Ashelford and Greg Turner, into a website for sharing recipes (with and without words). Lauren has posted a set of her original recipics on flickr, including instructions for making roast chicken, fig and honey sauce, and panna cotta. She says that her recipic for pancakes is the most popular.
