Ahh food… it’s a love affair over here. Add lettering and you’ve positively lost me for hours. There’s just a perfect combination between the carefully crafted nature of cooking and the hand drawn character of gorgeous lettering. Magic things happen when chefs join illustrators, designers and photographers to create a visual story around savory dishes. I couldn’t help but share these 20 cookbooks celebrating just that. Enjoy!
