Strict recipes have been replaced by
casual banter. Waitrose Cooks’ ongoing dialogue
captures this new spontaneity.
What better way to bond with the brand?

WAITROSE COOKS’ INGREDIENTS

CHALLENGE

With the proliferation of celebrity chefs and food editorial, we have become increasingly interested in a culinary world.

SOLUTION

Waitrose has responded with a range which satisfies the enthusiasts’ everyday needs.
Lemon juice is sourced from Sicily, sea salt
from Anglesey and walnut oil from France;
not your average “cupboard basics”. And,
as any foodie worth their salt will tell you, even the most modest dishes require the
right ingredients, sourced selectively. We have designed labels, identity and packaging for Cook‘s Ingredients, Homebaking, Fresh herbs and Recipe Kits. Each one introduces its contents with an energetic no-need-to-measure-it phrase:
“A good pinch of wild myrtle” sits alongside “Easy on the chopped chilli”. Subtle use of colour and an engaging tone create an interactive and collectible range. Numerous accolades include three Design Business Association Design Effectiveness Awards.
