12 Plates

"12 Plates" is a cookbook that comprises signature dishes from Michelin three-star chefs around the world. This cookbook not only demonstrates a diverse array of recipes but also shares the stories behind each chef and their creations.
The book cover is constructed with a layer of tracing paper to evoke the sense of discovering fine dining with world-renowned chefs, setting a mysterious and inviting tone. To illustrate the art of plating, negative space is used to showcase the high-end look and feel across the pages.
The choice of color is a key design element. Each chapter opener features a dim yet vibrant color palette to capture the mood of each chef's signature dish. These deep hues highlight the chefs' refined culinary talents and years of experience, telling a richer story of their dedication and mastery.
