Some chefs do their job because they’re passionate about delivering a tasty meal to their customer’s doors. Some place a strong emphasis on making sure their customers are left full and satisfied. Others, like Mary Pope, are all about aesthetics. If you follow her Instagram account, Pretty N’ Delish, the first thing you’ll notice is that her dishes are all-out artistic masterpieces.
The truth is that before actually analyzing and dissecting what’s going on with her dishes, the best thing to do is to just sit back and admire the visuals. This, we believe, is Pope’s intent—to create brilliant eye candy that highlights what you see before you’ve even thought about actually tasting it!
However, once you actually get over the fact that her work is exceptional, you start to actually look at what she’s made. Whether it’s a Thai fried red snapper or a carrot cake with a chocolate nest, they truly do look both interesting and appetizing. It’s tough to scroll through her profile and not yearn to taste something she’s made. Luckily, you can do the next best thing, which is to join her 6,000-plus followers and become a part of her community.
