Lean Into Vegan is a cookbook featuring twelve vegan recipes, organized into four meals—each consisting of an appetizer, entrée, and dessert. The concept was inspired by my own journey as a vegetarian exploring ways to incorporate more vegan meals into my diet. The design features a palette of earthy tones paired with bold line-art illustrations, forming simple, two-dimensional patterns that feel warm and inviting. 

To maintain visual interest, the cookbook uses two distinct page layout styles. Each meal begins with a cover page showcasing illustrated ingredients for all three recipes. Recipe pages are clean and easy to navigate, with clear section dividers for ingredients, instructions, and nutritional information. 

A personal note opens and closes the book, framing the project with reflections on my connection to the recipes and the motivation behind creating the cookbook.
