12 Plates



12 Plates is a cookbook that comprises worldwide Michelin chefs’ signature dishes. This cookbook not only demonstrates a diverse recipe but also the story behind each chef and their dishes.

The book cover is constructed by a layer of tracing paper to demonstrate the idea of discovering fine dining with world famous chefs. To illustrate the art of plating, negative space has taken its’ place to showcase the high-end look and feel across the page.

A set of dim but vibrant color is assigned to be the chapter opener to capture the mood of each chefs’ singnature dish. The color palette has the ability to tell a better story of each chef’s restless work ethic and their years of experience.
