Cookbook Issues



Be consistent

The most common mistake in cookbooks is inconsistency in abbreviations of the measurements.

To abbreviate or not abbreviate in the recipes must be decided upon before you start - or at a minimum before you print.

Most recipe books are a compilation of other's recipes and as such, each has its own style.

You, as the author of a cookbook, must develop your own style and adapt each one of those recipes to your style.

Are you going to use 'cup' or 'C'

Are you going to use 'Tablespoon' 'Tbsp' 'T'

They're all perfectly correct, but not consistent. Choose your rules before you send your style into the publisher.

Although the world is full of suffering,
it is full also of the overcoming of it.


Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.
Only through experience of trial and suffering
can the soul be strengthened, ambition inspired,
and success achieved.


College isn't the place to go for ideas.


Everything has its wonders, even darkness and silence,
and I learn whatever state I am in, therin to be content

~Helen Keller
