Sandita’s Cooking Notes Vol. 1 offers an intimate glance into her world. Beyond a collection of stellar recipes, it gracefully weaves together storytelling and technique, capturing the essence of her approach to food. Eight transparent pages are sprinkled throughout, overlapping and interacting with text like memories surfacing mid-conversation. Handwritten notes appear alongside recipes, grounding the book in the personal and imperfect. These details are reminiscent of the way ideas evolve, how flavors come together.

Intentionally designed to invite hands-on interaction, the book is meant to be handled, flipped through, and naturally stained with oils and spices. It’s an artifact designed equally for active use and display—a book that belongs in the kitchen as much as it does on the shelf or coffee table.
