A “comics recipe” on making vegetarian miso soup with turnips. Drawn in 5 hours on 24 Hour Comics Day 2009 (I was too lazy to do 24 pages). It was also posted at Graphic Novel Review as a follow-up to my article about cooking food from Oishinbo.

Delighted to see you doing this. I’ve long been fascinated by recipes in comics and in comics form. So many great ones: just off the top of my head, there was the Seattle Cartoon Cookery comic that came out in the mid-90s,Robert & Dana Crumb’s illustrated 60s cookbook Let’s Eat!, the giant hamburger recipe in the underground comic Hungry Chuck Biscuits, the spaghetti alpha carbonara recipe in an early issue of American Flagg, and now yours! You’re in proud culinary cartooning company, and you’ve inspired a blog post of my own!
Will try the Miso Soup very soon-yum!
Thanks, Diana. I didn’t know of all those comics recipes. I’ve only seen a few myself here and there. I got a recipe minicomic at MoCCA this year by Evan Palmer. And Matt Madden has a cocktail recipe comic in his A Fine Mess. Lucy Knisley also made a pickle recipe comic that she posted online recently.
Hey, Evan’s a former student of mine! Great guy, very talented.
Shame he’s not working with Peter Gross any more, but he seems happy about it.
Here’s the blog post yours inspired:
