Present thesis conceptualises and designs printed archive which documents and preserves making of local dishes. This includes taking photographic and textual documentation of cooking process and later organization to connect graphical elements, both textual and pictural, into precisely designed graphical presentation. Standard fixed format of a classical cook book is replaced with a flexible format of an archive in which every recipe is made to behave like a separate publication thus enabling adding and editing content without disrupting wholeness of a cook book. Recipes are indexed and parameterized to ease maneuvering in the archive. Project is based on a single household or a small group of users and with that criterion it can be classified as an exclusive design. Final product is hybrid of a publication and an archive in which special attention is given to the integration of text and photography in a typographic grid. Finding of an appropriate binding which would communicate this concept in a formal way is also well thought.
