Cook As You Are, 2022
IllustrationWorked with:Author: Ruby Tandoh
Design: Evelin Kasikov (UK) & Steve Coventry-Panton, Linda Huang (UK)
Published by Serpent's Tail in the UK also published by Penguin Random House in the US.
The book doesn’t involve any photography. But, has dozens of illustrations, borrowing Ruby’s word, ‘capture particularly important parts of the cooking process, from how to fold flatbreads to the easiest way to fill pierogi’.
The whole process of illustrating has been a collaborative effort between editorial, design team, Ruby and me. I tried to bring warmth and diversity of the books by inserting the everyday details such as bag for life, little drawings of a child, kente cloth and a walking stick.
