Love You Loads is a recipe book created as a gift to my family. It features my grandmother’s family recipes that I’ve baked with her since I was a child. She passed these recipes down to her grandchildren on small index cards, but I wanted to bring them to life. Over eight weeks, I planned each spread, baked hundreds of cookies, photographed them, and laid them out into compelling compositions. Most importantly, I ate my weight in cookies so they wouldn’t go to waste.
My role in creating this book:
Sketch every spread and establish a flow from beginning to end
Research other recipe books and write informative content to have at the beginning
Establish a cohesive appearance that reminds me of my grandmother
