I had the honor and pleasure of illustrating the cover of the recipe book "Il Grande Cucchiaino d’Argento", the most famous italian children’s cookbook in its latest and most comprehensive edition

The cover features some of the ingredients that can be found in this 500 pages volume and its 235 recipes, bold and bright colors and lots of smiles

I also designed a food pattern for the book's endpapers that looks very yummy and playful (something that little kids really love)
