Slice a Recipe is a educational cookbook that is not only a tome filled with delicious dishes, but also a practice block to hone cutting skills on. Essentially, the recipes are on lock down until the prospective chef cuts open the pages to access them. Clever and contemporary, the Slice a Recipe cookbook gets people in the mind frame to cook even before they lay their eyes on the instructions.
Created by OgilvyAction, a studio based in Bogota, Columbia, the Slice a Recipe cookbook is a simple concept with huge benefits. According to Psfk, It "was originally created as a teaching tool for a introductory cooking class." Since the pages are so thin and condensed, cutting them open is more of a challenge than some may first believe.
