Big Fat Duck Cookbook

This is a book written by Heston Blumenthal and illustrated by David McKean. It is extremely big, extremely heavy, and extremely expensive. The illustrations are very beautiful and are made using mixed media such as: Photography, painting, drawing, photoshop etc.
He uses great colour + light/dark contrasts that make the images all very dramatic. His use of line and dirty colours continue his typically macabre style that is so prevalent in all of his work. It is interesting how with most of the illustrations, the type is incorporated into the image itself, which gives it a much more contemporary feel and gives more meaning to the text.
