You could say every recipe is a balancing act. Too much of one ingredient may tip the scale in the wrong direction leaving you ordering takeout instead.

Food photographer Karsten Wengener and stylist Elena Mora understand this all too well. The talented duo collaborated in the creation of a phenomal series called Ricettario: A Balanced Diet.

Every ingredient in classic recipes like pizza Margherita, minestrone and apple cake is measured and strategically placed, giving a whole new meaning to eating a balanced meal.
