You Can Write Your Own Cookbook



Did you know you can write your own cookbook? Even if you can't cook! You can create your own cookbook from some of your mother or grandmother's favorite recipes. Even if you absolutely hate to cook, if you write your own cookbook someone in the family will find a hidden recipe from their past that they have been searching for.

You can neatly type all the recipes or hand write them if formality is not important to you. The main thing is to get started. Getting organized is always the tough part. Once you've put together a few recipes the ideas will begin to jump out of your head!

First organize a few of your favorite dishes, whether it be desserts, main course entrees or simply a group of your favorite sandwiches. As you write your own cookbook you will want to categorize each section. You may find that you have enough ideas to write one complete book on sandwiches and another on desserts, etc., etc.

If you really start to get into the project, put your computer and digital camera to work. Use the same font as you type each recipe and include pictures of the finished meal. Or, if your instructions are a bit complicated, you can include photographs of each step along the way.

Once you have the project completed, simply store the pages in a neat three ring binder with those clear plastic protective sleeves.

So now you know you can write your own cookbook. Maybe you've just found a profitable niche. Cookbooks of all types are always on the top seller lists. I'll be looking for yours!
