How to Cook the Perfect Day is a short, sweet, miniature cookbook illustrated by paper cut artist Nikki McClure. Although it only contains about a dozen recipes, they are accompanied by beautiful illustrations and headnotes that dreamily document the author's perfect day.
The minimal colours of black and blue gives the book a striking visual language and is refreshingly different from many other cookbooks. The illustrations are similarly effective, mixing realism with a slight cartoon style.
While the book may not be aimed at children, I personally think that this book would appeal to slightly older children and grown-ups alike. The book itself is just the right size and shape for children to paw through and the text is broken up into different paragraphs so that it becomes less intimidating to read, creating recipes that would be ideal for child and parent to complete together.
