We've all seen the classic pictures of the Romanesco broccoli as the prime example of fractal food. It's in just about every book, magazine, and television show that makes the slightest mention of fractals.

Lenore Edman was adventurous enough to create her own unqiue fractal food—Sierpinksi cookies and they look great. They would be a yummy treat on a chilly April evening like tonight. I love that someone was geeky enough to take the time and make them. Plus, they're relatively simple to make. The author went so far as to create a cookie from a level three carpet…I wonder who will create a level four or even five? That would be one big snack!
