Quanto Basta

This self-published book is a collaboration between myself and longtime friend and writer Lucy Conte. Sharing a love of food and books we wanted to showcase our talents and decided to produce a book together. The recipes are from Lucy’s Italian grandmother. The cookbook is more than a collection of recipes: it is a recollection of childhood memories and a way to pass those memories from one generation to the next. I did all the propping and photography, and designed the book. It was a monumental task. I wanted the book to reflect the sense of the old world as it manifests in the new and to have a sense of nostalgia without being old fashioned.
