ReplyDeleteThanks Lakshmi, these folks totally inspired me too!
DeleteLoved the Forest Feast website ! Food photography and illustration is so much fun ... I designed and illustrated an Ayurvedic Cookbook for my diploma project, which was so much fun !
ReplyDeleteShikha, can we please please see your illustrated cookbook, it sounds lovely and I am super curious! Have you shared it on your blog yet??
DeleteHey, the book isnt on my blog but you can check it out on my behance page - http://www.behance.net/shikhanambiar Would love your feedback :)
DeleteDelightful to say the least! Enjoyed reading through your thought process and research that went into it, choosing colors, layout, etc. Beautiful illustrations, Shikha! And the collaterals - calendar and bookmarks - too good.
DeleteThat calendar must be one useful keepsake for Ayurvedic cooking enthusiasts!
