Bringing a Beginner-Friendly Cookbook to Life Across Print and Digital
PROJECT OVERVIEW

LOW-FODMAP DIET COOKBOOK FOR BEGINNERS, from brief to impact.

A complete cookbook design and formatting project for Max’s Low-FODMAP Diet Cookbook for Beginners, covering the cover design, interior pages, and print and digital editions.

The book brings together 100+ recipes and a 35-day meal plan. The design focuses on making this content approachable, organised, and easy to navigate, with a consistent visual identity throughout.

HOW WE APPROACHED IT

Strategy before decoration.

01

Challenge

The project required a cohesive layout for recipes, introductory guidance, and meal plans, each with different formatting needs. Ingredients and cooking instructions needed clear separation, while longer sections required a comfortable reading flow.

Another key challenge was adapting the book for paperback, hardcover, and EPUB editions while maintaining consistency across formats.

02

Objective

Design a polished, beginner-friendly cookbook that balances visual appeal with everyday usability. Develop coordinated covers and interior layouts, and prepare editions suited to print and digital publishing.

03

Approach

We established a consistent design system for chapter headings, recipe titles, ingredient lists, instructions, and supporting notes. Carefully considered typography, spacing, and image placement help readers move through the content comfortably.

The meal plan uses structured layouts for easy reference. Print editions feature consistent margins, page numbering, and navigation, while the EPUB edition adapts the content for reading on different screen sizes.

04

Direction

The visual direction is fresh, warm, and food-focused. Inviting imagery, natural colours, and clean typography create an approachable presentation that suits the book’s beginner-friendly tone.

The cover and interior share a cohesive style, with decorative details kept restrained so the recipes and practical guidance remain the focus.
