'Seasoned' for Family and Friends contains a variety of 260 recipes all made from ingredients found in the Western Ghats of India. The recipes are interwoven with beautiful memories, culinary hints and anecdotes of the author's childhood in Provincial India.
I was commissioned to design the book cover as well as illustrate a few of the ingredients and recipes inside the book.
I decided to use watercolours and digital water colour brushes as a medium on preference given by the client and to bring out a real, believable and warm aspect that is associated with preparing a meal. The raw quality of the medium combined with the unpredictability made it very exciting to create each of the illustrated recipes. It was challenging due to the sheer number as well as importance to accuracy and recognizability.
