Countries are culturally defined by many different aspects, one of the most recognizable being food. When most people think about a region or country, local food is typically one of those associations.

Inspired by a passion for travel, artists Caitlin Levin and Henry Hargreaves transformed mundane and easily recognizable maps of countries and continents into enticing works of art. Their medium of choice — food.

When traveling, experiencing local cuisine immerses you into a region’s customs. These maps help show how food has traveled across the globe through the years, and how people associate those foods with certain cultures.
