Cook What You Have

A concept cover design for Cook What You Have by Christopher Kimball (Milk Street). It is not the official cover. I am playing with illustrated type, so the title is built from the ingredients. The back cover is a pan, a spoon and a spatula with faces. Shown as the full wrap with spine, on book mockups, and with the thumbnails I started from.

Full cover wrap, back, spine and front: on the back a smiling pan, a spoon, a spatula, an eggplant and olives with the line Make a meal out of almost anything, on the front the ingredient title
