Taste Buds Cookbook


Taste Buds Cookbook is a love story told through food and experiences, combining the rustic and modern personalities of two individuals. Food has been a particularly important element in my life for the past year; it became a tool for better health, experiences, and expression. Through this project, I hope to portray not only my boyfriend’s and my ability to cook and the experiences we have lived through, but also the professional skills I have acquired at The University of Texas - Rio Grande Valley.

Inside Taste Buds Cookbook, you will find a variety of skills such as: graphic design, photography, and writing. Harmony was achieved by using the right color palette, fonts, and illustrations that balanced out with the rustic backgrounds and modern plating found in the food photographs. There is also a balance of recipes, ranging from breakfast to dinner as well as food for everybody, regardless of dietary restrictions. Every single plate has a story, and I hope you can use these recipes to write your own!
