LITERATURE'S MOST MEMORABLE MEALS
Designer and writer Dinah Fried has created the most immaculate and inspired gastronomic flat lays. Some literary descriptions of food made such a strong impression on her that she decided to recreate and photograph them—a total of 49 photographs have been created by Fried. From Moby Dick to The Great Gatsby, and even Alice in Wonderland, Dinah has laid out some seriously iconic tables to photograph.
Dinah’s attention to detail is unparalleled. She makes sure everything from the utensils to the table linens are very much of the time periods in the books, making you feel as though you’re actually stepping into your favorite novels.
