Cookbook for the Visually Minded

Via FastCo Design, a cookbook that utilizes infographics in lieu of long, wordy explanations. Could it be great? We’ll see when it goes on sale later this year.

From the author:

“One of my goals for this book is to encourage people to just let go of rigid kitchen rules and be loose and free about cooking. The charm of the illustrations is great for its own sake, but it’s also performing a real function in helping make cooking feel easy, lighthearted, and do-able,” Shelly writes. “So what if you mess up? Once things get too serious, the drawings stop being inviting and start seeming intimidating. Like how people feel so oppressed by Ikea diagrams.”
