Mesa Sana is a digital platform famous for their simple yet delicious recipes and cooking tips. Born during covid lockdown, the founders were only looking to share a few recipes with friends but quickly became a famous Instagram account. Their first book “Mesas Para Compartir” is a compilation of 200 simple, healthy and delicious recipes.

Mesa Sana’s distinctive aspect of having really easy and simple recipes, as well as helpful tips, was emphasized in the different design elements in the book. The page number size is considerably big to facilitate the user in finding the recipe they are looking for. We also included a few color blocks to emphasize important information for the elaboration of the recipe.

Different layouts were created to meet the variety of information included in the book. In the recipe layouts a column was exclusively designated for recipe-specific tips to bring to the book that distinctive element of Mesa Sana. For the general content of the book we got a little more playful and played with different margins and columns throughout the design.
