One Table at a Time
Cooking on the Ono Lennon Farm
Robert Deeb has been the Ono Lennon Farm Chef for three generations. Sean Lennon supplies the forward for the book. As a personal chef he's had the freedom to experiment with flavors from around the world, often using ingredients fresh from the extensive gardens. The book design needed to be unique. I decided on a square shape for the book to give it a less traditional feel, and repeated the square geometry as a design element. The recipes are all organized on a consistent grid with ingredients first, then instructions. The right side of each recipe page has tabs organized by origin and content of the food as well as nutritional information, so that you could, for example, flip through to find all of the Japanese recipes or the Vegan recipes and their calorie counts. Tabs in the upper right denote the section you are in such as "Deserts," and a full bleed photo and square icon begin each section. Photos of the grounds, the scrumptious food and some rare shots with the family make the book come alive.
