Publisher’s Brief:
“We really wanted this cookbook to reflect the laidback, beachy and slightly seventies vibe of Olivia’s house, where it was shot, for her first cookbook, so chose chunky serif fonts, as well as a mixture of images that bleed off the page as well as in grid formations. For the cover we choose an off-centre inset image, with chilli red and cornflour blue, adding to the seventies vibe.”
