We recently posted a collection of infographics to help you outfit your kitchen and that got us in the mood to do some cooking. But following text recipes can be cumbersome. It’s so easy to lose your place in the text directions every time you turn around to crack an egg or add some spices. One great way around it is creating visual recipes. You can follow them more easily – and they’re definitely more enjoyable to look at and fun to execute. Here are 20 visual recipes that should turn out as delicious as they look!

Whatever you concoct in your kitchen, try it with a visual recipe next time, and see if it tastes as good as it looks.
