The main target of this work was to create an easyto-use, illustrated and unusual recipe book. Since the other great passion of the designer is photography, she wanted to combine it with her drawings and illustrations, inspired by Vintage style which is trending these days. Each recipe was created in a different style and mood, and tells a different story.
