This project is a family cookbook where I bring together my grandmother’s recipes, blending culinary tradition with a visual narrative. Each recipe is paired with old family photographs, preserving the history behind the dishes, while hand-drawn illustrations guide the reader through each step of the cooking process.
The combination of vintage photos and personal drawings creates a fusion of past and present, offering readers not only the flavors of these beloved dishes but also a glimpse into the memories and stories that have shaped our family’s culinary heritage. This cookbook is both a tribute to my grandmother’s kitchen and a creative exploration of how food can connect generations.

I’m a graphic designer specialized in the arts and cultural fields. I thrive in projects where I can merge my passion for art with my communication and design skills. I seek opportunities where I can collaborate with others and explore the role of art in today’s society as a social, participatory and critical process.
