Starting in 2014, an academic experiment began to conduct a multi-disciplinary collaboration between faculty and students in the 艺术与设计 Department at 犹他谷大学. Our end goal has been to create fine art coffee table books that showcase the creativity, innovation, and ingenuity of our department. In the 艺术与设计丛书, we have published five books with a sixth scheduled for publication in 2022.

J 'adore 是原系列的新成员，将使我们的总书数达到7本。 We wanted to broaden the scope of our multi-disciplinary efforts and reached out with a proposal to collaborate with the Culinary Arts Institute in the College of Engineering and Technology. 我们很高兴他们同意了。

我们不打算把这些项目和相关书籍仅仅作为一种教育练习。 We expect them to result in professional level experience and publications that put students on equal footing with their soon to be professional counterparts. Each prior book has received recognition in state, regional and national competitions from organizations such as Independent Publishers Book Awards, PPI PrintROCKS!, DesignArts Utah, AIGA 100, and 打印 magazine.

本食谱的摄影部分主要是在两个类创建。 The first class was taught by 约翰·里斯 who worked with Chef Todd to create the masterful shots of the plated food that fill the pages of this cookbook. The second class was taught by Trent Bates and focused on creating images that could be used by the design team to supplement the plated dishes. The graphic design team consisted of a class of sixteen students and was taught by Gareth Fry. The students worked to find styles and fonts they felt best reflected the culinary tradition inherent in the recipes. Several design options were created and presented to Chef Todd where he selected a design created by Sierra Lawrence. 她的设计为这本书创造了风格指南。 这本书里到处都是她的指纹。 Another student, Kirill Solomein, created the design used for the front cover. All of the design students contributed heavily to the final design.

可可Berryessa was one of the student photographers who really excelled in photographing food and after the classes ended, was instrumental in getting the rest of the recipes photographed. Coco also masterfully reviewed, color corrected, and/or edited every picture in the entire cookbook. The final design and production of the book was completed by Melissa Jane Barrett, the lead graphic designer for the 艺术学院. Melissa took all the incredible design and photography from students and faculty and began the Herculean task of editing and designing the final masterpiece you see before you. Travis Lovell, who is one of the co-directors for the 艺术与设计丛书, stepped in as the faculty member to help where needed, to ensure the project was successfully completed.

This cookbook truly was a team effort, with all the contributions being invaluable pieces to the overall success of the project.
