Some tips for making a great Recipe Photo Book!
You’ve got the idea that it would be fun to make a recipe book. 
One that’s filled with photos of the finished dishes. Or maybe including photos of the cooking or baking process. Who’s recipes will you use? How will you print and share the finished recipe book? Here are some tips for planning your book and for taking great food photos, as well.
Planning a Recipe Photo Book
Decide on a theme:
- Mom’s Home Cooking
- Grandma’s Famous Cakes
- Cookies That Kids Can Bake
- A Salute to the Great Cooks in My Family
Whatever your theme, be sure you can offer accurate recipes with easy-to-follow directions. Help your readers be successful in making those great dishes! So that means you’ll need to proofread your recipes and then have someone else proof again just to be sure.
Take lots of photos:
Every recipe book is better when it includes photos of the finished dish. Here is a post that will give you some guidelines for taking those photos.
But why not take photos of the cooking process and/or the ingredients the reader will have to assemble before starting? Ree Drummond of The Pioneer Woman does a terrific job of photographing the steps to her recipes. If you make one of her dishes, it is so helpful to have those photos to guide you along the way. Check out her site for examples of how you might do the same thing in your recipe book. By the way, I’ve made some of her recipes and they are always terrific!
Start Making Your Recipe Book Online
Begin by uploading your photos to your own photo folder on Lifephoto.com. If you register, your photo folders and projects remain there for you to return to as often as you wish. So you can make your book as you have time.
If you want your actual recipes to have a special look or design, you might consider putting them into a PhotoShop file and uploading your recipes as .jpegs. Then you can easily place them just like you would a photo. But you do have the option of typing them right on to the photo book page.
Military Wife and Children Sent a Memorable Photo Book to Their Hero
We’ve had quite a few ValentineĀ photo books come in that were made for deployed
military men and women. Every one is unique and beautiful; each reflects that family’s personality. But one stood out and I really want to share it with you.
It was made by the wife of a deployed military sergeant in the Airborne division — a paratrooper. His wife and young children put a wonderful photo book together. They used a flag graphic for the cover and titled the book “To Our Hero With Love.”
To Our Hero with Love
Inside they included fun photos, photos of dad with cartoons and funny messages superimposed, and scans of the children’s Valentine art. It’s fun. Creative. And very touching. I think you’ll enjoy viewing it, too. Here’s the full book in Lifephoto’s preview mode. Maybe it will inspire you to make a special photo book for someone you know who’s serving in the military!
This Soldier Will Almost Feel That Kiss on His Cheek!
Here is yet another terrific Valentine photo book created by a military
spouse back home. Pictures of dad with the kids and more pictures of the moments he missed with his wife and children. This military Valentine ends with a special message from home.
