Stir Your Passion for Cooking with a Cookbook Formatting Kit

Stir Your Passion for Cooking with a Cookbook Formatting Kit


Television viewers and readers are devouring everything food-related these days, and everyone from Oscar-winning actors to rock stars is serving up a collection of favorite recipes. Perhaps you, too, have a cookbook in you that’s ripe for publication. Strike now while the griddle is hot! Capture all those scrumptious dishes as they bubble to the surface into your own beautifully laid-out, mouthwatering collection. The newly released Outskirts Press Cookbook Formatting Kit lets you customize your layout from a professionally designed and formatted document, created specifically for the highly specialized cookbook genre. Cookbooks require very clear and specific formatting so that readers can easily follow ingredient quantities and cooking instructions. Most first-time cookbook authors know little about how and when to use elements such as justification, centering, margins, page spreads, numbering, title drops and other graphical elements to convey their culinary ideas in the clearest, most attractive way possible. The Cookbook Formatting Kit boils down these elements into a simple copy-and-paste proposition. The kit includes two Microsoft Word 2003 files from which you can choose to format a professional cookbook:The “Easy” File … • Includes the building blocks you need to add pages as needed.

• Allows you the freedom to arrange recipes in a logical way, according to how you choose to organize your sections.

• Includes the ability to replace or add graphical elements such as ingredient lists, photos and more.

The “Easier” File …

• Is set up to allow you to copy and paste up to 40 recipes directly into the file.

• Is formatted so you can add ingredient lists easily.

• Accommodates recipes of varying lengths.

If you wish, start with the “Easier” file to format your first 40 recipes, then move your draft manuscript to the “Easy” file to add more recipes and further customize your book. Add or expand your dish descriptions and instructions as needed, and choose from among photos provided in the kit or upload your own gorgeous photos to illustrate your recipes. The result is an eye-popping, high-quality manuscript that’s ready for full-color publishing as is.

Your Cookbook Formatting Kit will be available for instant download from the “My Toolkit” area of your Publishing Account. Each file is approximately 21MB.
