Picture Power

Tell me which recipe you would make....

a recipe for a chicken pot pie or a recipe for a chicken pot pie with this picture below...



I don't know about you, but I would definitely make a recipe with a picture.  That's why my favorite, most used cookbook is the Reader's Digest cookbook.  It has tons of pictures, and I love it! Think what power pictures have in advertising.  Classical Conditioning is a major one!  What about restaurants? Would you rather eat from the menu with pictures or eat the food with just a description?

Which would you rather see when you buy a sandwich? (And they both still have pictures!).
Does picture power influence your decisions?

  1. Never thought about it before, but pictures really do influence me. I rarely try to make a new recipe unless there's a picture of it!

  2. I know that a good picture makes a recipe more enticing, but I can never get it to look as good!
