A bottle of olive oil, jar of pesto, fresh basil leaves, garlic cloves, pine nuts, and parmesan cheese are arranged around handwritten ingredient measurements on a cream linen-textured background. The illustration combines pen linework with watercolor accents in greens, golds, and warm earth tones, creating a charming, approachable guide to a classic recipe. Bound with 52 pages of 70lb paper, lined or unlined, behind an anti-scuff matte cover with wraparound artwork, made to order. Notes and sketches kept behind an independent artist's work, not a plain composition cover.
