The design work of Manos Daskalakis for the 4th anniversary issue of Ethnos Cook Book magazine is one of the finest graphic design projects I've come across lately. I'm fascinated by the use of tiles in typical greek blue and white shades as a background and the collection of fonts and graphics that have a vintage 50ies feeling. Check out Manos' tumblr page; it is equally impressive.
Well I can't speak Greek so I couldn't cook from this but I sure could appreciate the gorgeous photography and spot on graphics - and that, for me, is reason enough to buy! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I love blue-and-white. I wish it was in English, too---at least the Blog, which has photos of some very appetizing looking dishes!
ReplyDeleteI have a collection of about four or five greek cookbooks, but this one, with the beautiful blue and white tiles would look right at home. Like your other commenters, if only I spoke Greek!
