cookbook illustrator

I’m looking for an illustrator to create realistic illustrations for a cookbook I am writing. There will be less than 10 black and white illustrations in total. I do not have specific concepts in mind, however the location is specific to recipe group headings such as Appetizers and Drinks, Main Dishes, Desserts, etc. I would like the illustrator to come with imaginative ideas and concepts that match my cookbook. The illustrations should be high quality and capture the essence of the recipes I’ve written. The artist should be creative and have the skills necessary to bring my recipes to life.
