Judges’ comments With the title embedded in neon blue against the green clothbound background, the contrasting colours stand-out just as this book does on the shelf. The title’s blue is consistent throughout and sends you straight to the Aegean, as does the thoughtfully used custom Greek alphabet, based on the Migra typeface. This book balances storytelling and functionality, offering a glimpse into a family album and their heirloom recipes.
