How do you want your book to look?

We are working on cover designs for the Cookbook Love Kitchen Memories book. Ideas so far have included:

• A collage of recipes, cookbook covers, and vintage appliance photos.
• Era-inspired drawings of people cooking in their vintage fripperies. 
• A simple, clean design with minimal images.

But this is really YOUR book, so we'd love to hear YOUR ideas. What do you think would make an eye catching and appropriate cover for a book of kitchen memory essays?
