Overview
The Settlement Cookbook
For my advanced book design class, each student was responsible for redesigning a cookbook found at any of the local bookstores in New York City. I chose to redesign "The Settlement Cookbook," a cookbook published in 1901 to support young women raise their families.
The Project
"The Settlement Cook: The Way to a Man's Heart" was a cookbook designed for young women in the 1900s to be able to support their families. The intention was that, through simple yet delicious recipes, women would be able to thrive at taking care of their husbands and children.
Process
Purchase original cookbook. Determine information hierarchy. Choose recipes. Create design system. Design master page on InDesign. Design book. Choose paper type. Print and bind by hand.
