This Edible Toast Art By A Japanese Artist Will Make You Hungry

When people say that cooking is an artform they rarely mean making toast. It’s a phrase mostly reserved for complicated dishes, something like a 3-course dinner or a very fancy tiered cake. But artist and designer Manami Sasaki proves that you can turn toast into art if that’s what you wish to do.

Manami works as a designer for a company and in her free time does exhibitions of her own art in art galleries. She usually paints with watercolors, but during quarantine, she decided to apply her art skills to food. Manami says that before the quarantine she would rarely think about what she eats and would often skip meals or just eat something quickly or on the go. Her goal was to minimize the amount of time spent on food and maximize her working hours.

But having to stay at home because of the world pandemic made her reconsider and change her mind. These days she never skips breakfast. She wakes up early and starts making her artful toast creations. It allows her to pay more attention to what she eats and be grateful for the food and the nourishment.
