The recipes are creative yet simple, presented by means of impressive photos and lively typography. The advantages of print over the web are played out haptically and conceptually. The layout plays with and breaks viewing habits, visual tension and surprise accompany the reader through the magazine.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Many of us have more time for ourselves at home this year. Your own kitchen will once again become a playground for creativity. The magazine should be a source of inspiration and motivation for more activity at home. Some recipes are very simple and thus have a low entry barrier even for beginners. The original context of a cooking magazine, following a recipe, is being questioned. The aesthetics of the ingredients and the arrangement on the plate are paramount.
CHALLENGE: A visually influenced magazine that does not get lost in the flood of many cooking magazines. A unique selling point was found through the design and photography.
