- Be
sure to copy your photos onto quality photo paper.
Do not use or cut up an original photo – unless it is a more recent
photo and you have multiple copies.
- Include
copies of actual recipe pages, especially if the recipe is hand written.
- Print
a recipe on vellum and place over a family photo. Attach with two brads or
eyelets at the top to allow you to lift the recipe.
- Attach
recipe cards with photo corners so it can be removed from the page because
your family members will want to use it over and over again.
 |
-
If your family cookbook has a beautiful or unique cover, copy it
(reduce slightly), and include a copy of it on one of your pages.
Include favorite family recipes that are located in the cookbook.
- When
looking through your photos for food-related pictures, look for
birthday parties, graduations, weddings, etc.
You are sure to find pictures of people eating.
In addition, you are sure to have a special recipe that you
created for the event.
|
- Every
era has signature recipes. I
remember eating a lot of tuna noodle casseroles and chop suey
(unfortunately) in the 1960’s. Include
a few pictures with your recipes of events that were happening during that
era.
- If
you are creating a cookbook for your children or grandchildren, place little
envelopes on the page (attach with mounting squares), hand write little
personal notes and slip into the envelope. Your child/grandchildren will
love pulling your little notes out and reading them.
