Hello there! I’m Heather Diane, an illustrator and sign painter at New Bohemia Signs living in Berkeley, California. I created this blog to share my two loves of imaging making and food. This blog is a celebration of all things delicious and I hope you enjoy! If you would like to say hello, or if you have any suggestions please email me at hdhardison@gmail.com. If you would like to check out more of my work, head on over to heatherdiane.com, check me out on Flickr, or follow me on Twitter.
You can hire me! I’m open to most image making opportunities. Shoot me an email, I’d love to chat.
what a neat blog! your pictures are just wonderful.
Your blog is so fun!
Grrrreat bloggy!!
Thank you so much!
Fabulous Heather. Have you made posters?
Hi Amanda! I haven’t made posters but I’ve got plans on the back burner for an illustrated bites etsy shop. I just need to get my butt in gear!
I’d buy them in a heartbeat!
Yes, please start an etsy shop! We are redoing our kitchen and I would LOVE some prints to hang up!
Just came across your blog and I love it!! The illustrations are amazing!
Thank you so much Karen! It’s always motivating and exciting to hear when people are enjoying my work. Take care!
Instant love! Your blog is gorgeous – I adore your illustrations and then I came across the words ‘bananas’ and ‘cornbread’ together and fell head over heels. Thank you for being out here.
I appreciate the kind words! Thank you for reading my blog!
This is fantastic! I just stumbled onto your blog via stumbleupon and I’ve sat here admiring your work for quite some time now. You should consider maybe a fun illustrated cook book! I’d definitely buy it
Thank you Carman! Doing an illustrated sketchbook would be a dream project. Perhaps one day!
I love your illustrated recipes! Very fun XD
Thanks Jenny! So glad you found my site and are enjoying it!
My roomate just made your apply crisp. It was DELICIOUS!!!! I poked around on your blog and you have some great advice with a very artistic way of showing what your teaching. Im going to add this to my favorites and try some other recipes you’ve got on here. Thanks so much for creating a blog so unique and artsy!
Wow, I totally love your illustrations! Makes cooking/baking look really fun, and inspires me vis a vis my own artistic pursuits. I think IKEA should hire you to replace their generally awful (& intimidating) drawn instructions for furniture assembly. Cheers
Wow I think your blog is fab — cooking and illustration — 2 things I love as well!!
Keep up the good work
This is a really nice take on food and illustration put together. I love the details and colours, which obviously reflects on culinary skills and lovely food ^_^
Would be great to have it as an actual recipe cook book. So much easier to follow than just having instructions!
I love your blog and your work! Really inspiring!
Congratulations on being “freshly pressed” . Love your blog and the illustrations. Very clever. Going to try some of the recipes too.
Great blog! It must take you some time to do each blog post –writing, drawing and embedding all this together in 1 composition. You should turn some of this stuff into an e-book.
delicious blog! congratulations! i am so happy to have found this place I hope come here often
Thank you for sharing all your ideas, projects and illustrations w/ us.

So excited to have found your blog! Yumminess in blog form! Hooray!

Great blog! I love your work. How do you make these images? What do you use?
Hi Grace! I draw everything with pen and then scan it into the computer and digitize it and add color. I mostly work with Adobe Illustrator
Oh right! Thanks for the reply! I’ll bear this in mind as I’d like to make my own illustrations look a bit more professional like yours do!
Lovely blog, very creative! Really enjoyed looking at your work.

hi i was reading your recepie for the brioche but i think there is a mistak, you wrote about a cup of lukewarm water and then 1tbs of milk but then at steps
1. Combine the warm milk, honey, and yeast and let it stand until it’s foamy, about 5 minutes.
2. Add the olive oil, eggs and salt, and stir to blend.
Wehre is the water then??? because a tbs of milk for that amount of flour it doesn’t look to be enough. I wondering if has to be a cup of milk and 1tbs of water….thanks because i was thinking to bake them today hope you can answer me
You’re right! Thank you for catching that. It is one cup of lukewarm milk, not water. Then it’s one tbs of milk for the glaze. I’m just so used to starting breads with yeast and warm water, that I let habit take over. Thank you.
Hi Heather,
thank you too, I liked your recipe looks less complicated than thousand that i read, and i want to be sure i understood heehhe, sorry i hope my comment didn’t sound arsh
