The kitchen at Litchfield is, in many ways, the center of the popular show Orange is the New Black—a setting for camaraderie, drug smuggling, power struggles, and plot twists. 

With 65 recipes featuring favorite characters and memorable moments Orange is the New Black presents: The Cookbook adds new dimensions to any fan’s obsession. The recipes included cover three square meals a day, plus snacks/sides, desserts, and drinks which include Red’s Chicken Kiev, Miss Claudette’s Coconut Cake, Prison Punch, and more.

My role in the project included aiding in art direction at the food photography photoshoot, utilizing my own calligraphy to emulate those of various characters, and aiding in the design of the character profile pages and sidebars.
