Abstract
AI-GENERATED ABSTRACT: Abstract: This thesis explores the design elements of cookbooks and their impact on effectively guiding readers through the cooking process. Despite the long history of culinary writing and the widespread use of cookbooks, there is a lack of material on how to best design them. The objective of this thesis is to discover how graphic design components can enhance the functionality and aesthetics of cookbooks and develop general guidelines for cookbook design. The research primarily focuses on twenty-first-century cookbooks in the European and American publishing markets. It includes an overview of the graphic components, such as recipes, introductions, indexes, covers, and unique elements specific to cookbooks, like cooking equipment and pantry items. The study utilizes a range of methods, including historical analysis, interviews with professional cooks and cookbook authors, and case studies of popular and classic cookbooks. The findings will contribute to a better understanding of cookbook production, user experience, and the interplay between visual design and culinary storytelling. Keywords: cookbook design, graphic components, culinary writing, user experience, functionality, aesthetics, historical analysis, case studies, interviews, culinary storytelling
