Images of food that engage the eye and invite us to look closer are both beautiful and great for the appetite. Whether flipping through a celebrity chef’s cookbook, bingeing a cooking series or scrolling Instagram for must-try dining experiences, some images undoubtedly demand our attention more fully than others.
