They will be grouped by region of origin, which also reflects Tessa's travels, from London where she was born and later cooked professionally, to South Africa where she grew up, interspersed with visits to her mother's and father's homelands, and Italy where she now lives. Design Like Twelve, Tessa's second book has a journal-like quality, with rich layers of text and imagery and food that has been photographed in the environment in which it was created rather than styled and studio-perfect. It opens with a double page spread with an illustrated family tree that sets up the structure for the chapters that follow. The palette is one of nostalgia, drawn from fabrics and wallpapers that reflect a time and place in Tessa's life. Chapter openers continue the theme, mixing landscape photographs with fabrics and illustrations to resemble a journal page. Throughout, Tessa's narrative appears as random jottings.
