Falcinelli, Frank et al. "Frankies Spuntino Kitchen Companion and Cooking Manual ," NYC, Artisan, 2010.

This 256 page hardcover "cooking manual" measures 9 x 6 inches and was printed by a long standing bible printer in the US. I worked with the authors to realize their vision of a useful cookbook that looked like it came from the early 1900's and illustrates how to cook the food from Frankies Spuntino in a home kitchen. The book is finished in blue vinyl and gold embossing with gilded pages and a built-in bookmark. I designed every aspect of this book from concept to realization and worked closely with the team at Artisan to realize this unique cookbook. It is currently still in print with 68,000 copies printed.

“The book is a perfect reflection of the Franks’ philosophy of making the past the hippest part of the present.” –Food & Wine
