Last year I was very honored to be asked to create papercut illustrations for a cookbook. That cookbook is out next month and I can’t wait for it to be born into the world. Extra Helping: Recipes for Caring, Connecting, and Building Community One Dish at a Time by Janet Reich Elsbach is a beautiful collection of recipes and essays, all based around the idea that food is caring.

Here is a sneak peak at some of the papercut illustrations.

Whether it’s a time of celebration or a time of grievance, Elsbach guides you through how to take care of others through food. You can pre-order directly from Roost Books, or ask your favorite independent local book store to order it for you.
