Clean cut: The cookbook you have to slice open

Developing knife skills is a crucial part of any chef’s training, says Escuela de Cocina Carulla in an instructional video, and you won’t learn by cutting corners: ‘That is why we gave our students this special introductory cookbook.’

In our Form Follows Ritual macrotrend, we identified how food and drink product designers are using tactile materials and clever concepts to create harmony between an object and its use – encouraging consumers to slow down and engage more emotionally with products in their homes and kitchens. 

Slice A Recipe’s tactile approach invites users to savour the product. Designed by Ogilvy & Mather Bogotá, its white, rounded corners mimic the organic materiality of ceramics or marble – matching clean design with a playful and practical function.
