Illustrated Seasonal Cookbook
As part of my senior project, Iām creating an illustrated cookbook centered around the four seasons. Each season features five recipes with accompanying illustrations that reflect my love for slice-of-life storytelling and timeless, charming characters. Inspired by classical children's book illustrations, such as those by Blanche Fisher Wright, my watercolor-style artwork ties back to the recipes by incorporating key seasonal ingredients, like pumpkin for the fall.
The entire Illustrated 20 page cookbook is scheduled to be completed and printed in May of 2025.
