I minimized using images even though it's a cookbook. I don't want to make readers compare their food to a fancy photo in a cookbook. There is no 'answer' in cooking. I designed the cover based on a word a cookbook. There are perfect 5 O shapes. A circle is a key element in my design. It becomes a chapter-opening element as well. There is a 'lookbook' in the end part of the book. Readers finally can see the collection of food images from recipes.
