Salpimentar

Project Overview

Personal Project
Industry: Cookbook
Timeline: 2 years (2024-2025)
My Role: Writer, Layout Designer, Photographer (all of it)

I won't say that people always ask for my recipes, but like, they do. I like to think I'm a rather good cook but unfortunately for everyone else, it's nearly impossible to share recipes because I never write anything down. I season from the heart, sue me.

Xmas gifts from me are almost always homemade, candles, clay magnets, stickers, you name it and I've probably done it. This year, I wanted to make something a little more thoughtful and useful (I've actually been cookin' on this idea for about two years) and finally decided to pull myself up by my bootstraps, test my recipes, and write them down.

Originally, I wanted to call this book Kitchen Grimoire, but decided that was too kitschy with the design, and Salpimentar also sounds kinda like a spell; plus, as you go through my portfolio, you'll notice a theme- food. We all gotta eat, so let's eat good.
