La Flor de Noche is a refined culinary tribute to the quiet strength and vibrant pasion of Colombian mothers—women whose grace and resilience shape the world around them. Rooted in tradition yet attuned to the present, this cookbook reimagines time-honored recipes with a modern sensibility, honoring the depth of Colombia’s rich culinary heritage.
Like the women who inspire it, La Flor de Noche balances contrasts—subtle and bold, delicate and enduring. The visual identity mirrors this duality, incorporating a thoughtfully curated selection of historical illustrations, botanical studies, and lithographs that evoke the textures, landscapes, and ingredients central to Colombian cuisine. These elements lend a sense of discovery and timelessness, grounding the book in both art and history.
More than a collection of recipes, La Flor de Noche is an immersive experience—a celebration of food as both nourishment and storytelling, where every dish is a love letter to the past and a bridge to the future.

Process
The creation of La Flor de Noche was a meticulous journey of research, design, and refinement. I began by gathering inspiration through mood boards, drawing from historical botanical illustrations, lithographs, and archival prints to build a visual language that resonated with the heart of the book. Typography was carefully selected to balance classic sophistication with contemporary clarity, ensuring a timeless yet inviting feel.
Layout development was an iterative process—experimenting with spread styles, refining pagination for seamless storytelling, and structuring each section to highlight the harmony between recipes and visual elements. Selecting the right materials was equally essential, from the texture of the cover to the weight of the pages, ensuring that the book felt as rich and warm as the stories it holds. Every design decision was made with intention, creating a cookbook that is not only a guide to Colombian cuisine but also a tactile and immersive experience.
