Cookbooks tell us how to cook. Blasphemy tells us how to break the rules. A 104-page act of defiance, it fuses culinary experimentation with cultural provocation, challenging everything we accept as sacred in food.
In cooking, as in life, we are bound by tradition. Rules passed down through generations define what we eat and how we prepare it. Blasphemy dares to question those rules.
The book’s design mirrors its irreverence. Inspired by the Bible, the ultimate rulebook, it twists traditional typesetting, injects chaotic layouts, and revels in rebellious aesthetics. Almost-illegible overlays, mirrored text, misalignments, and pixelated photographic errors make it feel as though the book is fighting against its own existence. The book design features Amador and Eskapade Fraktur.
Its creator? Olly Wood has no professional culinary experience to his name. The very act of authoring and designing this book is, quite fittingly, blasphemy itself.
