I’m so excited about this book and just love the illustrations as well. So fun!
Love the punchy illustrations — look at the texture on that onion!
This combines 2 of my favorite things: cooking and great graphic design. Going on the wish list!!
It doesn’t exist in French with Blexbolex’s illustrations?
I love this illustrator, it’s really beautiful!

These are just wonderful! Love the bright colors and whimsical nature.
Then you are very lucky to buy this book, I’m jealous ;)
so pretty. :)
I think I’ve seen these in Bookshops in Ireland too, so perhaps you could get in on Amazon Miss L?
Doh! I’ve just realised it’s the language not the country that’s the problem – sorry!
These are fantastic! This may need to be the newest edition to my cookbook shelf.
That’s a whole lotta cuteness for one book!
Beautiful illustrations. Very childlike and fun, I’d cook from that book!
These are great! I really like the overlay print look.
Love love love those illustrations. They’re wonderful.
Insanely in love with these illustrations. They’d be perfect framed in a kitchen. And thanks for turning me on to C&Z website – I’ve never heard of it before!
I love the illustrations shown from the inside. Am I the only one who doesn’t care for the cover?
do you know if it is possible to buy prints of these illustrations anywhere? they are great!
one of my favorite food bloggers as well – been following her notes on this good new book venture and glad to see it here w/ all the fab graphics too. :-)
