Painted Meals is a monthly letter from a small kitchen in Vienna, where mum cooks, her daughter paints, and every dish is folded into an envelope addressed to you.
We moved to Vienna together. Mum cooks, I paint what she makes, and once a month we fold it into a letter. It is slow, it is by hand, and every envelope is a little different.
Part of every letter helps us fly home to grandma a little more often, so each one you open is also a TICKET HOME.
Inside: a painted art print, mum's recipe card, a sheet of stickers and a note from our table. A new envelope colour every month, a new dish, a new painting.
Pre order opens on 24 November. The first letters go out in January. To be first in line, LEAVE YOUR EMAIL below.

LETTERS WITH CARE
Write a letter with us
Every month the painting and the recipe are the same for everyone. What changes is the letter inside: choose what you want to say, and we will write it by hand, for someone you love or for yourself.
1 · WHO IS IT FOR?
2 · HOW ARE YOU, REALLY?
2 · WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SAY?
3 · A FEW DETAILS
Your first letter also brings our own introduction: who we are, and why we write. After that, every letter speaks to the theme you chose.
FROM THE STUDIO
Stickers by mum
Mum paints a new sticker every week. So far: a pear, a vine leaf with grapes and a matcha latte. They all end up in your letters.
