Thinking Deeper on My Guiding Questions
Why do I want to create a recipe book?
- I want to create a recipe book as a personal keepsake, a way to document my favourite meals, and be able to share it with my friend, family, and future family. I enjoy cooking and want to organize my go-to recipes in one place. Additionally, I want to be pushed to try new things that can become a part of my regular circuit of recipes.
What kind of recipes will I include?
- I would like to include a mix of personal creations and sources recipes that I’ve adapted or love. I also want to include some family recipes that hold meaning to me (like my favourite baked goodies from my Mum). I would like the book to reflect my style of cooking!
Will I focus mainly on cooking, or will I include baking recipes too?
- Even though I enjoy cooking more, I also have some favourite baking recipes I would like to mark down! I want to make sure the book feels cohesive and special to me rather than trying to cover everything.
How am I going to organize the recipes?
- I’m thinking that I will organize them by meal type (appetizers, mains, desserts) or by occasion (quick meals, comfort food, crowd-pleasers). I want the layout to make it easy to find something based on what I’m in the mood to cook!
How many recipes do I want to include?
- I’ll start with a manageable number – maybe 25? I don’t want to get overwhelmed but if I am really enjoying it, I’ll continue to expand!
