Out of the Blue: Seafood Recipes

This charming upcycled journal began as a small-run seafood cookbook titled Out of the Blue. Carefully hand lettered and printed on beautifully thick paper, each page reflects the artistry of an era when recipes were shared in intimate community collections rather than mass publications.

Originally a softcover booklet, the full book has now been thoughtfully mounted onto a sturdy hardcover and transformed into a one of a kind journal. The complete original contents remain inside, including all recipe sections for hors d’oeuvres, grilling and broiling, stir fry dishes, casseroles, pasta, soups, salads, and quick and easy seafood meals. You will find everything from scallop skewers and crab spreads to seafood gumbo, white clam sauce, lobster salads, and baked whole fish.

Between sections of original printed pages are high quality blank journal pages, offering space for notes, reflections, family recipes, meal planning, or memories from the kitchen. 

This piece blends coastal nostalgia with true small-batch craftsmanship. It is perfect for seafood lovers, cookbook collectors, historians of food culture, or anyone who treasures found art transformed into something functional and lasting.

Only one copy.
