An Artist's Rendition Of An Ina Garten Salad Is Turning Heads On Instagram
By GINA LAVECCHIA RAGONE

Celebrity chef Ina Garten has gifted fans of her shows and cookbooks with many great recipes, and photos and videos of her dishes also show off her aesthetically pleasing plating skills. While many of Garten's ardent fans see her food as art, one of her followers took the idea to a new level.

Artist and illustrator Jessie Kanelos Weiner made a lovely 2-D version of Garten's Tomato and Blue Cheese salad by using small, colorful cutout illustrations of the "ingredients" and layering them together on a plate. Garten reposted the cute video on her own Instagram, commenting, "Love this from @jessiekanelosweiner!!"

Garten's followers seemed just as delighted by Kanelos Weiner's "Too Hot to Cook" take on the salad. One fan, pam_gypsy_aries, wrote, "As an artist… I adore this," complete with applause and heart emojis, while a fan of the original recipe chimed in, "Tonight I made your tomato salad, and it was fantastic!!!”
