Graffiti Recipes: The Secret Carrot Cake of Pasanen

2008_05_22-Graffiti.jpgWe don't follow graffiti-art much, but when we see recipes in that space we pay attention. Take a look at this graffiti recipe from Helsinki...

 
 

2008_05_22-Graffiti2.jpgWe have very little of the backstory on this; we found it on Flickr. It was taken in Helsinki - in some back alley, perhaps?

Have you ever seen recipes in street art? We like the idea of plastering semi-secret recipes (especially vegan ones!) all over town.

I'd love to make it to, but what the heck is a DL? Anyone want to convert these measurements for use in uhmericuh?

DL is deciliter. Just go to Google and put in "cups in 2 deciliters" and Google will convert it for you.

What's soy cream? Is it like soy milk?

Yeah, i think soy cream here refers to a soy-based cream, like an alternative to cow cream. I've seen it in our local natural food co-op: i believe the brand Silk (which also makes soy milk) makes soy cream. For use in coffee, baking, whatever.

You could probably just use soy milk though, or whiz some silken tofu in the blender for a bit (maybe thin with a little soy milk if that comes out a little thicker than cream).

I wonder if this was inspired by Miranda July's project called Learning to Love You More. Participants in this project complete an assignment and post a photo of it. Assignment #62 is "make an educational public plaque".

Anyway, that was the first thing I thought of when I saw this fun graffiti recipe.

Lilac- you'll probably never see this but thanks for the link to Miranda July's project. I'd not heard of it before and wish I'd been following from the start, but better late than never.
