The weekly recipe aims to help Hong Kong immigrants with meal planning worries and homesickness. It involves different home-cooked meals and international cuisines Hongkongers often approach. Hanging in the kitchen satisfies you to read by cooking.

The Homesick Recipe features a childlike style and soft-toned colours. It contains illustrated seven-day recipes with a range of dishes and ingredients.

The design pursues minimalism, inject a wooden stand and prefer using soft-toned fabrics. The combination of fabric and wood maintain nature and simplicity.

The inspiration for the recipe comes from old Hong Kong calendars, designed to help immigrants reconnect with feeling
of being at home.
