Best approach towards Recipe Books

Post by Doaa Wael »

What is the best approach to executing a recipe book? What do you like to see and what information do you prefer to be included :techie-studyinggray: ?

Now a days the trend seems to be photographing each step. This can be helpful for those who are beginners. I prefer a picture of the finished product with the recipe.

I like seeing recipes in Pinterest that often have an accompanying photo- for each step. That way I know exactly how the recipe is supposed to look at each phase. Also, if there is an unusual ingredient, it's nice to have information listed as to where that specific ingredient can be purchased. Also, very thorough prep details are appreciated.

I definitely prefer at least a few pictures with the instructions. This helps visual learners a lot! I also prefer recipe books that are divided by protein type when possible. For example, all chicken recipes together.

I love a recipe book with clear instructions. If it says for beginners the recipe should be written like that. Every step shouldn't be skipped.
