How to turn old recipe cards into a book? ›

Creating a DIY cookbook doesn't have to require expensive design software. There are many templates that allow you to design recipe cards or a simple DIY recipe layout using free tools like Canva, MS Word, or even Google Docs. You can always make the photographs yourself and use daily life images you already own.

The title page is the first page of your cookbook with text on it. It usually contains the title of the book at a minimum. It can also have the name of the author, the sub head, and sometimes an illustration or photograph.

Authors who use lines from another author's work have to cite, or attribute, the content to the original author's work. And cookbook recipes can also be attributed to their original or known author so that a cookbook writer can use them in their book in the same way.

Organize your recipes by course

Appetizers, soups, salads, main dishes, desserts. If your recipes span these familiar categories, grouping them by their place in a full meal could be the right approach. It might sound straightforward, but it's an organizational cookbook tradition that works.

What is at the end of a cookbook? ›

There are several pieces of the book that go after the main body of the cookbook, these are called "back matter". They include content like an index, glossary, appendixes, bibliography, or resources. All of this content is optional, though an index and resources section are very common in cookbooks.

What Are Common Cookbook Trim Sizes? Because you want your cookbook to be easily readable while scurrying around a kitchen, the smallest size to consider would be 6 x 9 inches. However, the standard cookbook size is the medium cookbook size of 7.5 x 9.25 inches.

The standard expectation is that a cookbook should have between 70 and 100 recipes, but larger compendiums have at least 200. Think carefully about how many you want to include.
