Mmm-mmm-mm. This is such a simple and easy recipe that promises such big flavor. We're pretty sure there won't be any of this left over after a holiday party. We love Joana Faria's slightly edgy illustration style. The creative twist on the Advent calendar works so well for this recipe. The chunky hand-lettering style is great combined with the delicate rows of garland. If you venture over to her website you'll see lots more of her detailed line drawings and intriguing designs. In fact, we love this recipe so much we made it for our own get-together, and it turned out great. Next stop, New Year's.

See more great illustrated recipes today on They Draw and Cook. And let FoodNetwork.com do the planning for your New Year's Eve party.
