He's gay, he's a cook and he's an artist.
Michael Zee, a talented photographer and
cook, has spent over two years crafting matching morning meals for
himself and his boyfriend, Mark van Beek. Zee uses ideas and
ingredients from around the world without duplication and then posts the
results to a large Instagram following. This wonderful project, called “Symmetry Breakfast“, has taken on a life
of its own, much to Zee’s surprise. In a 2014 interview with The Guardian, Zee
spoke about what he does to keep the project going.
People wonder if I’m crazy or obsessive, but it is a
declaration of love, really. I’m dedicated – both to breakfast and to Mark. …I
get up really, really early. …If something takes more than 30 minutes to make,
such as a sourdough, I do it the night before. I post at 7.30am and we leave
the house at 8am. Usually, within the first hour, I’ll have 1,000 likes and by
the next day it will go up to about 3,000.
