My Very Own Cookbook - Blue (Page 5 of 5) in pdf

Instructions for using this printed cookbook template:

1. Print the first page to create a slide in cover for a see-through cover binder. If you wish to have

the first page on the inside of the binder, print it a second time.

2. Print as many of page 3 as you need to print your recipes, one page per recipe.

3. Using whatever word processor you prefer, set the margins to 1.25” for all sides. If you wish to

have recipes on the back of each page, too, place the printed pages, top first and upside-down

into your printer and print again.

4. After your recipe pages are ready to print, insert the printed template pages into the printer, top

first and printed side down, and print your recipes using the Print command in Word. Make sure

you have enough pages to complete the print. Later, to add pages to the recipe book, print

more of page 3.

5. Type or handwrite the recipes onto the table of contents page. Number pages using the page

numbering function of your software, or in a matching color ink, write the page numbers at the

top left corner or center bottom of the page.

6. If giving this as a gift, include 20 blank formatted pages, so that your gift recipient can add to

the cookbook, too. You could also save this file to a CD-ROM and insert that into the pocket of

the binder, to give the recipient the ability to create more pages as needed.

GIFT IDEA:

 Purchase a see-through cover binder.

 Print the number of needed pages to pass your favorite recipes on to a friend or family member

as a birthday, graduation, or wedding gift.

 Write down your favorite recipes, and be sure to include extra pages for your gift recipient to

add their own favorite recipes.

 Use a hole punch to prepare recipes for insertion into the binder. Purchase page dividers to put

the recipes into categories, such as main dishes, vegetables, pasta, casseroles, or desserts.

 Tie the recipe book with a dark red, silver, or gold ribbon and gift wrap.

 Use the lined pages to handwrite recipes for your cookbook.
