Description

This book was a personal cookbook given to the author’s best friends. The writing, the recipes and the illustrations all had a personal meaning to the author and her friends. With care, collaboration and a lot of meals with the author, we were able to fuse them all together by the use of color, paper and differently designed sections of the book.
