OMG YOU MUSH! is a playful cookbook designed for the mushroom-curious, plant-forward eaters, and foragers.
This cookbook uses an earthy color palette and close-up imagery to highlight the ingredient, supported by a warm, expressive serif for playful headings and a highly readable sans-serif functional body text.
I included Sylvia Plath’s poem Mushrooms as an unexpected addition, bringing a more reflective, poetic dimension to an otherwise practical book. Its themes of persistence and quiet growth echo the understated presence of mushrooms in both nature and cooking.
I place key info like servings and cook time upfront for quick decisions.
Also, a 6-column grid keeps pages consistent and easy to scan.
Large step numbers help users move through each recipe and find their place.
