A very special recipe book, commissioned as a wedding gift. The recipes were supplied by the colleagues of the bride, and are all tried-and-tested family favourites. I was given complete freedom in the design, and as the bride is a lover of fairy tales I decided to produce it in the style of an old-fashioned story book. Each recipe begins with an illustrated capital letter, and the text is handwritten throughout in an evocative style of script. The book features three original illustrations of ingredients.
