Palate Palette: YELLOW Cookbook is the first volume in The Taste Curators’ limited-edition color–cooking series, linking the flavor palettes of food to the color palettes of design. This inaugural book explores the question: What does yellow taste like?
Across 26 recipes, this sunny, optimistic hue is interpreted through breakfasts, entrées, sides, sweets, and more. Think warm spices, golden vegetables, citrus moments, and dishes shaped by brightness, comfort, and glow. Each recipe is paired with a headnote that ties yellow to cultural and aesthetic references — echoing the color’s mood, texture, and playful intensity.
The book is spiral-bound so it lies flat in the kitchen, and sized for easy use and gifting.
