Indie artist Andrew Belle currently straddles Chicago and Nashville, two of the best indie music/food cities in the country, and his down home, rustic, wry style reflects the comfortable literary wit evoked by his surroundings.
Belle’s work is selling like hotcakes on iTunes, and cheesy/tweeny TV shows are picking him up (One Tree Hill, The Vampire Diaries, Keeping Up With the Kardashians), but food is an equal passion.
Belle enthusiastically embraces the zeitgeist-y space that exists between the overlapping worlds. And he somehow finds the time to update his website almost daily, constantly blogging about food, posting gorgeous, beautifully plated photos of his experiments–plus recipes.
In fact, he’s so committed, he launched his own cooking channel on YouTube called ABTV, devoted to cooking every recipe in Jamie Oliver’s “America” cookbook.
Join him in his quest to make creamy bacon and cider mussels, below.
