Ebury Publishing commissioned us to design Low-Cal Kitchen Bangers and 20 Minute Low-Cal Kitchen Bangers, a bold and no-nonsense cookbook series from recipe creator Alex Hughes. These books prove flavour does not have to be sacrificed in the name of calorie counting.
Our role
We created the series design, covering both interiors and covers. Punchy typography, high contrast colours, and dynamic shapes reflect the energy of the brand, while foil on the covers brings the illustrations to life and creates a recognisable look across the titles.
Matching design to voice
Packed with straight talking advice and seriously tasty recipes, the design mirrors Alex’s direct style. Every page balances bold visuals with readability and clarity, ensuring the content feels immediate, fun, and accessible.
Impact
Low-Cal Kitchen Bangers launched as a Sunday Times Bestseller, establishing a strong identity for Alex in a competitive cookbook market and giving her a distinct and cohesive publishing brand.
