Lost & Found is concept for a recipe collection based off found lists. I have been casually collecting grocery lists for 5 ish years (I have 40+!) and I find it to be the sweetest glimpse into a strangers life… Were they planning a surprise party? Making an elaborate dinner to impress a date? Trying out a recipe they saw on tik tok that involves cottage cheese? (they always do…) Or were they just doing their weekly shop…. Lost & Found answers these questions in the form of proposed menus using ingredients from each list. Inspired by the style and naivety of 90s community cookbooks, I created simple recipe layouts and added personal touches like slanted type and graphic borders. Colored tabs organize the book into sections that evoke traditional cookbooks and bring in pops of color inspired by fridge magnet letters.
