Cookbooks have always been a powerful medium for transmitting history and culture. My design dissertation, "Cookbooks for thought," explores this idea, positioning the cookbook as a space for dialogue that has evolved significantly through society impact, graphic design and printing innovations.

My dissertation demonstrates the importance of the cookbook as a vehicle for history and a space for conversation. I designed and produced a 116-page book that embodies this concept. My editorial design choices, from the hand-made copper gilding on the cover to the selection of a Kraft paper and the ABC Laica typeface, were all made to reflect the project's core idea: that a cookbook feeds the mind as much as the recipes feed the reader.

This project showcases a deep dive into book design, blending historical research with modern design practices to create a tangible object that is both intellectually and aesthetically rich.
