Many famous chefs and food critics insist that presentation is key when making a successful meal. Linda Miller Nicholson, known as saltyseattle on Instagram, has taken this term to the next level by turning her pasta creations into stunning pieces of artwork.

With over 270 thousand followers on Instagram, she has turned her passion for eggs, flour, and water into something spectacular.

Linda spends her days creating vibrant pasta with natural dyes. But she doesn’t stop there. She is famous for turning her colorful pasta into daringly creative compositions. 

She keeps her Instagram page up to date with tons of photos of her creations. “Pasta is like a textile,” she once said in an interview. “You can really manipulate it and feel it beneath your hands and understand it texturally.”

She is not only a star on social media, but in the classroom as well. Linda’s work became so popular that fans begged her to start teaching cooking lessons – so she did. She teaches pasta making classes in Seattle for all cooking levels.

Artist Adam Hillman, known on Instagram as Witenry, has created a series of colorful arrangements that include various foods. Fruits, vegetables, candy, and other foods come together and join in becoming vibrant artworks with incredible texture and dimension.

Occasionally, Hillman uses some other common objects such as crayons and coins, but most of the time, he works with food. He manipulates the food if needed by cutting them and arranges them in the desired order to achieve a mesmerizing visual result. Each of his works is completed without any digital manipulation.

“Recently I’ve been focusing a lot on color contrast and gradient,” he told My Modern Met. “Unlike a lot of my previous work, which primarily used singular objects and an array of different colors, I’ve been creating cut pieces that combine a wide variety of singularly toned objects over a geometric, cut-paper background, such as the wide variety of red-toned fruit and vegetables.”

Scroll down to see our selection of Hillman’s artwork. If you want to see more of this talented guy, follow his Instagram page where he shares new photos with more than 300,000 people.

Illustrator Beth Walrond explores food festivities around the world with her art. She’s curious to learn how different cultures incorporate food in their celebrations.

Walrond’s art tells the stories like the origins of Thanksgiving in the U.S., why French eat so much cheese, and how Nowruz is celebrated in Iran.

“I studied illustration at Falmouth University, a great course where we had the opportunity to try out everything, and learn a lot about the industry,” the artist told Gestalten. “After three years of studying, I decided to try out getting some freelance commissions and being self-employed, something I hadn’t ever imagined myself doing. Almost 5 years later and I love the work I get to do and the freedom that it can offer.”

A woman from Boston named Eileen started baking cookies in her spare time, and it didn’t take her long to turn pro.

“My name is Eileen and I live outside of Boston with my husband and three boys (ages 9, 6 and 2),” she writes on Instagram.

“Before kids, I made a living as a web designer. After kids, I’ve been perfecting the role of ‘exhausted stay-at-home mom’ to a crazy little pack of boys,” she adds.

“Parenting is HARD! But cookie decorating makes for a nice creative outlet. My cookie adventure started a few years ago, but until recently was pretty sporadic (holidays, fundraisers, special occasions). As my kids get older I’m finding more time in my days (and nights) to focus on improving my skills.

“For those who don’t already know, cookie decorating is a BIG time commitment. Here’s to a very patient husband!! Thanks so much for stopping by! It’s been a lot of fun sharing my cookies with you.”

A hobbyist barista that goes by the name Kunit92 creates colorful birds in his lattes, and we fell in love with it instantly.

“Thank you for watching my Instagram. I’m making these lattes just as a hobby at home,” his Instagram profile reads.

The artist gets inspiration from his Bourke’s parrot named Sakura. Some of the birds on his lattes are actually portraits requested by proud bird parents.

You can see his work on Instagram – he often includes the original photos his art was based on as well.

We hear it all the time: breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But let’s be honest, when was the last time you didn’t rush out of the house in the morning and actually had the time to eat your breakfast in peace?

Spanish photographer Tessa Dóniga was inspired by this meal to create a series of surreal photos titled Break/Fast, due to the literal translation of the word to Spanish. She shows many different ways in which you can “break the fast” with this morning meal, some more literal than the others.

“The fact that I’m bilingual makes me wonder more,” Tessa told Gestalten. “When I try to translate some words into one language from another, I question myself. My challenge was to set in one image both terms in a visual composition that would be recognizable to the viewer.”

Isn’t it a great surprise when you go to a coffee shop, order a latte, and find that the drink has been served to you with a beautiful creation on the surface?

This technique is known as “latte art,” when coffee makers and baristas use their artistic skills to guide the steamed milk contained in the beverage to make a type of drawing on the top layer of the drink that is served.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv1jNuHhoP6/

While the coffee drink named in the this art form is latte, latte art techniques can also be applied to making other hot drinks that contain milk. For example, many baristas also make latte art with flat whites, hot chocolates, and cappuccinos.

To make latte art, it’s essential for the hot drink and the steamed milk to be in the correct temperature and consistency. The milk should be between 140 and 180 degrees and the coffee or hot drink should be fresh and hot.

One of the keys of the art is to also use a commercial wand heater for the milk. This allows the “microfoam” to form, and this ends up becoming the base of the layer in which latte art can be created.

https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv4MLOfJA02/

The final touch is to use stencils or free-hand to create beautiful latte art designs. Creativity is the name of the game!
