Hardcover book designed using Adobe Illustrator and InDesign
Undergraduate
Flavors of Festivity is an illustrated cookbook that blends my love for cooking and design into a fusion of flavors and aesthetics. Inspired by my blog Tanvi Bytes and my passion for hosting memorable gatherings, this book goes beyond recipes and celebrates shared moments around the table. The recipes are ones I made over the years, from middle school through college, and the book is meant for a youthful audience—offering dishes that are approachable, easy to make, and built around accessible ingredients. Each section is designed around an entire event—such as Game Night, Movie Night, New Year's, Valentine’s Day, and Birthday Feasts—providing readers with everything they need to host the perfect occasion. With themed dishes covering everything from mocktails and appetizers to main courses and desserts, this book blends written recipes with illustrations and graphic design, turning cooking into a fun and visual event that inspires readers to create unforgettable experiences with loved ones. The final project culminated in a printed hardcover with 79 pages, a reflection of my personal journey through food, design, and the joy of bringing people together.
