My Senior Project

Originally I was going to do a book highlighting community art projects in Baltimore. However while discussing the plans in class it became apparent that I was "biting off more than I could chew" as they say. I would still like to create a book and some complimentary items though, so I have changed to a cooking/food book. My friend/boyfriend's sister Stacey created a book of dessert recipes for very specific diets(diabetic, gluten free, vegan etc) while she was in culinary school at the CIA. She has also included facts about the conditions these recipes are made for, as well as a list of food alternatives. Currently she has a lot of notes so this will give me the freedom to put the text together as I choose(and to add or subtract anything). I want to create a book that is fun and unintimidating. Too often diet books are as bland as the food in them and all the weird-named food alternatives can be a bit scary. I want this book to be very welcoming and generally fun to look at as well as easy to use.
