The Dalla Lana family reunion of 2008 presented a unique opportunity to preserve and celebrate their rich culinary heritage. The family sought a visually appealing solution to accompany their treasured recipes, one that would resonate with both younger and older generations.

The project required the creation of simple, yet engaging illustrations to adorn the pages of a printed family recipe book. The images needed to complement the recipes and evoke a sense of nostalgia and family tradition.

I volunteered my skills as an illustrator to bring this vision to life. By combining traditional illustration techniques with digital tools, I created a series of illustrations that captured the essence of the Dalla Lana family's culinary traditions.

The illustrated recipe book became a cherished keepsake for the Dalla Lana family, preserving their culinary heritage for generations to come. The project not only enhanced the visual appeal of the book but also fostered a deeper connection to the family's history.
