Publisher’s Brief:
“Create a premium cookbook with a bold, vibrant and memorable cover that would stand out, whilst still communicating the book’s approachable, family-focused content.

For the interior, the brief was for it to be practical, engaging and intuitive – balancing beautiful and thoughtful design with everyday usability. Hand-drawn illustrations also were part of the brief – to create warmth and give the book a unique visual identity throughout the introduction and on each recipe page.”
