Hi there!
I completely agree that mind maps are a great way to memorize vocabulary, especially when the mind map is enriched with lots of colors, icons and images. I actually recently stumbled onto another article with the same topic, where I found a pretty cool mind map for German food vocabulary - you can check it out here: http://www.mindmeister.com/356248380/german-food-vocabulary
(And here is the link to the article, in case you're interested: https://www.mindmeister.com/training/use_cases#5)
Cheers,
Dagny
