Just because we need food to literally survive doesn’t mean that it needs to be reduced to some hyper efficient paste. We call it the culinary arts, after all. And some folks out there truly take cooking, baking and decorating to the absolute next level. While it might be an exaggeration to say we eat with our eyes, there is no denying that pretty food is somehow more enjoyable.
So, we’ve gathered the best culinary pics of all time for your enjoyment. So get comfortable as you scroll through, prepare to get very hungry, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Most cultures worldwide developed theories and preferences about the culinary arts separately. After all, eating is one of those things that is so universal that we simply had to work it out to survive. As with most things that we now consider normal, aesthetic and flavor preferences were often just a reflection of what was available.
A normal person would just eat what was available and cheap, staple foods made from grains. Naturally, over time as agriculture developed, humans wanted to add a little more flavor to practically everything.

Global trade and refrigeration technology now means that we can enjoy all sorts of ingredients from around the globe. Similarly, literacy means we can actually read cookbooks and learn recipes that might take years to develop independently. The food pictured here is just proof of how skilled even home cooks can be when they decide to apply their years of experience.
