Comfort food

The approach

Food that looks like it tastes.

Anna photographed the recipes in natural light, keeping the plates honest and the styling simple, so every dish looks like something readers want to cook tonight.

The idea

Let colour and texture do the work: fresh produce, simple surfaces and real kitchen moments.

  • Photography: digital

On set

A small team, a lot of cooking and natural light only.

The result

Recipe and cover images for a 192-page cookbook, published by DK Verlag on 30 December 2024.
