"The Delicious History of Food" book cover design

A Taste of Time

Andressa Meissner illustrates Clive Gifford’s flavourful journey through food history

Andressa reunites with author Clive Gifford for The Delicious History of Food, a richly illustrated non-fiction title published by Hachette UK.

With art direction by Victoria Brooker, the book explores the surprising origins of what we eat - from ancient inventions and space snacks to global food celebrations and modern science.

Andressa brings this fascinating history to life with playful, informative visuals that span centuries and continents. A celebration of food, curiosity, and culture, the project exemplifies the creative range and narrative depth that illustration can offer in children’s publishing.
