8 Top Tips for writing a cookbook
- Choose the recipes that you want to showcase. Usually cookbooks have on average 100 recipes.
- Test, test and test the recipes and make sure that you have given them to other people to check they work too.
- Check that all the ingredients that are listed are in the method and visa versa – check that all the ingredients in the method are in the ingredients list.
- Choose which recipes you want to photograph – think which ones will look the prettiest. Don’t forget to choose a couple from each chapter.
- Plan which props, plates, knives and forks etc you want for each recipe.
- Food photography is a whole world of expertise and I would if your going to spend money on anything this would be the place.
- Digital expert – you need someone to put it all together, I have no idea how to use anything other than the basic tools on my macbook(link to buy one) so I needed someone great for this!
- Printers – there are loads to choose from but make sure you shop around to get the right balance between quality and price.
