Help me find this book... pics made up of food!

[ReginaPhalangee]

I've spent a good 20 years trying to find a picture book I came across around 2001. It is roughly A4 sized and is made up of different 'real life' scenes on each double page spread. Each part of the scene is made up with a different food/object. I don't remember there being any text, just beautiful imagery and so clever.

Not The Naughty Bus before anyone mentions that... much better!

MN wisdom needed! Merry Christmas

Hopeful little bump!

There's the Food Landscapes book by Carl Warner but that is later I think.

could it be a book of work by Giuseppe Arcimboldo? Most of his work is done using natural products

We've got a book like this called Amazing Look-Alikes by Joan Steiner. It says first published 1999. Is it a bit like that? The scenes aren't just made of food, though, there's other household objects in the pictures.

Thanks all! I'll have a look at your suggestions (sorry for the lateness of my reply, it was my bday so been out and about!). Potentially the Joan Steiner could be a breakthrough, rings a bell....

I think this is it!!!!! Just found a cheap used copy on eBay and have ordered it. Thank you - honestly I've been searching for so long!

The other suggestions also look awesome.

Thanks for your help

Ah, that's amazing! We got the book in a charity shop a few years ago and the DC still enjoy looking at it. It was the first book I thought of when I saw your thread. I think she did a few different ones, but that's the one we've got. I hope it's right
