A studio service

Cookbooks children can follow.

A child following a recipe needs to see each step, not read a paragraph. We illustrate children's cookbooks with step-by-step pictures, ingredient spreads and a guide character who shows the way.

Children's Cookbook Illustration and Design

N° 01Step-by-step art

Step-by-step art

Each recipe broken into small illustrated steps, with the safety moments (knives, heat) shown clearly for a grown-up to help.

N° 02Ingredient spreads

Ingredient spreads

Everything needed for a recipe drawn on one spread, so children can gather it before starting.

N° 03Halal-friendly

Halal-friendly

We illustrate halal recipes only: no pork and no alcohol in any recipe or scene.

N° 04Peek inside

Pages like these.

Four recipe steps: cracking an egg, whisking, pouring, a stack of pancakes
An ingredients spread: flour, eggs, milk, honey, berries and butter
A hedgehog guide character in an apron beside a stack of pancakes

Sample artwork made by Kompanie to show the kind of pages we make. Not client work.
