Instructions
Step 1
Choose the appropriate notebook. Since it will be heavily used, it is best to use a hardcover and securely bound copy. The format of the recipe book should be no less than A5, otherwise you will not be able to fit all the information on one sheet.
Step 2
The sheets in such a notebook should be lined, since a significant amount of text will take up, but without margins, which spoil the appearance of the pages.
Step 3
The artbook will fill up gradually, so collect material for it as you find it: if you accidentally see a beautiful picture in a magazine or advertising brochure, cut it out and save it - it will come in handy someday. For decorating a notebook, photographs and drawings of ready-made dishes and individual products are suitable, as well as paper with a beautiful texture and an interesting color, which can then be given an "edible" shape with the help of scissors.
Step 4
Divide your notebook into several sections for different types of food. They can be marked with icons in the bottom corner of each page, a different sheet color, or a title before the beginning of a section. Leave a few pages at the beginning of the notebook for the table of contents.
Step 5
Design each recipe as an independent collage. In the center of the sheet, draw a square and write several columns in it listing the ingredients for the dish. For each new dish, choose a new font - you can copy it from magazines or calligraphy tutorials. The main thing is that the handwriting is not trivial and familiar, but is part of the artistic composition.
Step 6
Glue pieces of paper of different colors around the space with the ingredients. On each of them, draw (or make up from the scraps) a cooking step. They can be arranged sequentially or chaotically, connecting them with any designation you understand - arrows, dotted lines or simple numbering.
Step 7
The recipe can be placed not only against the background of a lined sheet, but also on a pre-pasted photograph or map of the country in which this dish is considered national. You can also decorate the recipe with a photo of your family devouring a ready-made meal.
Step 8
Supplement the notebook with a ribbon bookmark glued or sewn to the captal and an envelope glued to the back endpaper, in which you can put your not yet completed recipe notes.
