UTSA Libraries Special Collections has recently acquired an extensive collection of cookbooks and archives from Diana Kennedy, a revered authority and author in Mexican cuisine. This notable addition, one of the largest in the country, enriches the existing 2,000-volume collection of Mexican cookbooks at UTSA Libraries.
Diana Kennedy's contributions have been instrumental in elevating Mexican cuisine to a global stage, making her rare books and archives highly coveted additions to our collection. Her expertise and passion for authentic Mexican cooking shine through in every page, offering invaluable insights into the rich culinary traditions of Mexico.
To celebrate this momentous acquisition, I was tasked with creating print media and digital content inspired by the artwork found in vintage cookbooks. Drawing upon the vibrant colors, intricate patterns, and nostalgic charm of these vintage illustrations, I aimed to capture the essence of Mexico's culinary heritage while evoking a sense of nostalgia and intrigue.
Through this promotional campaign, we hope to not only showcase the cultural significance of Diana Kennedy's works but also highlight the wealth of knowledge and inspiration found within the collection. From traditional recipes passed down through generations to innovative culinary techniques, the Diana Kennedy collection is a treasure trove for food enthusiasts and scholars alike.
As we share glimpses of this extraordinary collection through print media and digital channels, we invite audiences to embark on a journey through the flavors and stories of Mexico—a journey enriched by the timeless wisdom and culinary mastery preserved within the pages of these cherished cookbooks.
