The Bookery Cook
The Bookery Cook is an interactive work that brings the household cookbook to life. The work extends itself beyond paper and places itself upon the hub of the home, the refrigerator.
By drawing on the themes of the timeless family recipe book you can browse through recipes by matching ingredients together. Magnetic tiles marked with ingredients allow you to find a recipe based on a combination of ingredients.
