Personal Recipe Book
A personal recipe book that makes cooking and baking a breeze.
Sam is like me: She hates cooking and baking while looking at a phone, yet that’s where most of her recipes live (hello food bloggers of Instagram!). To make her life easier while trying to prepare dinner or treats for her family, she commissioned this custom recipe book. To start, Sam compiled and organized all of the recipes she wanted to include. Then she provided me with the text and I created a unique design that looks like a traditional recipe book. Once printed, everything was bound in the coptic tradition, which makes propping the book open while she’s cooking or baking super easy and looks great when the book is not in use. Sam no longer has to worry about trying to unlock her phone to look at a recipe with messy hands—a total win!

Sam provided me with all of the recipes she wanted included in this book, including the order in which they needed to go in. Then I came up with a unique design that would be readable and easy to use while in the kitchen.
A staple in most recipe books, this measurement conversion page simplifies baking and cooking and is a handy resource.
The book has a few distinct sections, separated by a prominent part opener page.
The sparse back cover works well to balance out the busier front cover.
