Recipics

Make your Labor Day delicious and easy on the eyes with Recipics.com, a collection of "visual recipes" created by Lauren Bugeja. The Australian user experience designer developed a system to translate written recipes into a diagrammatic form that simplifies the preparation of labor-intensive dishes ranging from Eggs Benedict to rigatoni sardi a mari—even if you've never poached an egg and would be hardpressed to pick rigatoni out of a pasta line-up. We recommend kicking off your long weekend with a "Jug of Danger," Bugeja's pictographic take on the famous and fruity British summer drink known as the Pimm's Cup.
