The Cookbook - My Adventure With Grains


I created this cookbook as part of a drawing class where, over the course of a semester, we were to keep a sketchbook, making several drawings per week, on a theme of some sort. I decided to record what I baked during the semester and things related to doing so. I also included a few brewing recipes that I had done in the past. The entire book was made by hand. The covers were made in a printmaking class by use of linoleum cutting and the pages were drawn and handlettered in graphite and/or colored pencil.

You can download a PDF of the entire cookbook by clicking here. Note, it is 63 megabytes.
