POSTMATES
DON’T
COOK BOOK
Postmates wanted to stand out among its competitors in the food delivery market. In a quarantine that saw everyone try cooking or baking, Mother LA played off the moment to create a cookbook to help people “don’t cook”. The Don’t Cookbook contains popular food ‘recipes’, only every recipe ends with a QR code to scan that lets you order the food directly from a nearby restaurant. Filled with artwork, jokes and thoughtful design the book entertains readers as they wait for food to arrive.
