“I decided to learn how to cook and create a cookbook—totally not advertising-related. I decided to include my mother and entire family heritage in this project. And I decided to throw out every advertising and design lesson my teachers had instructed and just go about creating this from my heart [...] I was very happy it worked out because I realized that I can communicate more when I create from a personal place than when I try to create from an institutional place.”
“About five years ago, I thought it would be a good idea to start assembling the recipes into a collection that we could gift to them when they moved out. Laura has been out for two years now and Victor moved out in February. We started getting text messages asking for “that salad dressing Kristin makes” or “how Dad makes…”. When Covid hit Denmark, it was my time to get to finish the book. We did a LOT of cooking, took what feels like a million pictures, and assembled this collection.”
