Classic Literary Meal Depictions

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Dinah Fried 'Fictitious Dishes' Series Is Novel

— July 16, 2012 — Lifestyle
Drawing upon the meals found in literary masterpieces, the Dinah Fried 'Fictitious Dishes' series creates a connection between literature and food. These five fictional meals were created by graphic designer Dinah Fried who is currently pursuing an MFA at Rhode Island School of Design. Each of the meals draws upon the fabricated food eaten by the characters of famous novels including The Catcher in the Rye, Oliver Twist, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and Moby Dick.

Fried's photographs channel the varying stories from Holden's meal at the sandwich bar meal to Alice's delightful dish at the Madhatter's wacky tea party. With such accurate depictions created by Fried it is no wonder that authors use such fine details when it comes to food. The Dinah Fried 'Fictitious Dishes' series truly provides some food for thought.
