The covid-19 has changed the way of life of many people, and our persistence in cooking has reached the highest level in history. According to research, in 2020, 80-90% of a family’s expenditure is spent on cooking. Although Engel's law is so high, people still feel happy from cooking.

This happiness is the power of the cooking process, it gives people joy and hope in life. But many readers will find that their understanding of food is very superficial during the cooking process. How will readers break this deadlock? A high-quality printed cookbook is the best way to break this barrier. So self-publishing and printing cookbook is not only to share your cooking experience but also is convey the happiness of your life to the readers.

Therefore, before self-publishing and printing cook book, you should not miss the following important tips.

 

1. Please proofread your content and description carefully

A high-quality cook book printing needs to be accompanied by vivid descriptions to attract the reader's attention, rather than a few simple sentences, with cooking steps and a few food pictures.

Many exquisite printed cooking books and delicious recipes are unable to convey to readers the central idea that the authors want to express because of poor writing skills, and it is usually obvious that the authors have not proofread the text at all.

 

2. Make sure to clearly express the ingredients and cooking methods you use

When I cook based on the printed cookbook, unexpected accidents often happen.

For example: When I prepared all the ingredients and prepared them according to the cookbook, I was surprised to find that some of the ingredients were not mentioned in this method.

Or, when I prepared half a cup of chopped green onions and a quarter cup of Japanese soy sauce, but when should I add them?

How much salt should I put in? How many grams should a quarter of a teaspoon of salt be? In some recipes I have read, these abbreviations are sometimes inconsistent in the ingredient list, which can confuse readers.

So, when you are preparing to self-publish and print your cookbook, please make sure that your description of the cooking steps is accurate and easy for readers to understand.

 

3. Please test your cooking recipe

After writing your cooking book, please follow your article to cook once. Your test can check the accuracy of the recipes you write very well. A more convenient way is that you can ask others to try if the recipe is useful to them or not.

Remember, if the ingredients and methods match, it will be easier for readers trying to follow your recipe.

 

 

4. The cook book printing and design

Cook book are one of the most interesting projects in book printing and design because there are many ways to express creative ideas, from typography to recipe pages, bookbinding, book cover finishing, and of course photography.

The pictures must be based on real food. The hue of the picture can be adjusted to be brighter and higher in saturation, but you must also ensure that it is not distorted while adjusting the picture.

Make sure that the printing company you choose chooses the best ink for color printing so that your cook book printing will show the best color. The choice of paper will also affect the final presentation of cook book printing. If you do not consider the effect of picture printing when choosing the paper, then the color may be different from what you expected.
