Secret Ingredients’ new Cookbook Kits give you flexibility to make a cookbook fun, personal, and exactly as you want it!
Here are some ways to make your cookbook pages fun:
- Fonts: Have fun with your fonts! There are a lot of free font sites on the internet, so if you would like to expand your collection do a quick search.
- Digital Photos and Clipart: Word processing programs let you add photos and clipart to your pages easily! Why not adding a gold star next to all the healthy recipes?
- Page Borders: Add borders to your recipe pages to give it an extra touch.
- Stories: Add family stories, favorite quotes, and recipe tips to your pages.
- Photographs: You may add photographs to your dividers by applying glue or sticker dots to the back of the printed photograph.
The possibilities are endless! If you are looking for an expandable cookbook project, our kits are the perfect answer. You can add pages as you find great recipes
