One of the main insights to come out of our recent Future of Publishing Forum was that print’s periodicity is lessening. A factor for this (and also a result), is that magazines are investing a lot more time in making their product look valuable, collectible – timeless. The best magazines are looking more and more like books, and the proof is in the pudding, as we've found out with Madrid-based annual, Cookbook.

Despite its title, Cookbook offers little culinary advice. Instead it aims to analyse the work of a chosen artist through the metaphor of cooking. For Cookbook #2, one of Spain's most prolific graphic designers and founder of Apartamento magazine, Albert Folch curates the edition to his taste; well informed picks of literature, cinema, fashion, music, art and even the odd recipe. Folch has chosen the content, the contributors, the design and notably the colour scheme, and the results are worthy of a years hard work. A true testament to slow journalism.
