Mono is an exercise in restraint. In a world of recipe sites drowning in advertising, pop-ups, life stories, and visual noise, this is the opposite. Just recipes. Just food. Just what you need.

The design follows Swiss typography principles — strict grid systems, generous negative space, and the belief that less is more. No rounded corners. No gradients. No unnecessary decoration. The food photography provides the only colour, which makes it more impactful. Everything else is black text on white space.

I believe recipes should be clear, concise, and easy to follow. The story matters, but it shouldn't get in the way. The design should disappear and let the food speak. This site is built on the principle that every pixel must earn its place.

FAQ

Not at the moment. Mono is a curated collection focused on quality over quantity. Each recipe is carefully tested and photographed to maintain consistency. However, if you have a recipe suggestion, feel free to send it through the contact form and I'll consider it for future inclusion.
Because the recipe is what matters, not the website. Most recipe sites are cluttered with ads, pop-ups, and unnecessary content that gets between you and the food. Mono strips all that away. The minimal design isn't an aesthetic choice — it's a functional one. Less distraction means better cooking.
Every recipe must meet three criteria: it must be delicious, it must be achievable in a home kitchen, and it must photograph well. I test each recipe at least three times before publishing. The collection focuses on a mix of quick weeknight meals, weekend projects, and special occasion dishes — all chosen to be practical and inspiring.
Absolutely. The minimal design actually makes recipes easier to print — no wasted ink on backgrounds or decorative elements. Just use your browser's print function. The layout automatically adjusts to be print-friendly, with clear ingredient lists and step-by-step instructions.
All food photography is carefully selected to represent the final dish accurately. Images are chosen for their clarity and composition — they should show you exactly what the finished recipe looks like, without artificial styling or unrealistic expectations. The black and white design framework makes the colour in food photography more impactful.
New recipes are added weekly, every Sunday. Quality over quantity is the priority — I'd rather publish one excellent recipe per week than rush multiple mediocre ones. Subscribe to the newsletter to get notified when new recipes are published.
