When to use it
Use it to save a family recipe, build a personal cookbook, or hand a dish to a friend who asked for it. The reader is someone standing at the counter with busy hands, so quantities sit in a table and each step fits on a single numbered line.
What is inside
- A title and author from fill-in fields, with serves, prep and cook times on one line.
- An ingredients table with columns for quantity, ingredient and preparation.
- A numbered method, plus sections for variations, serving and storage, and kitchen notes.
Tips for a better document
- List ingredients in the order you use them, and give each step a temperature, a time and a visual cue for doneness.
- The template opens in the Editorial style, which suits a cookbook page. Choose A5 if you want cards that fit a small binder or a recipe box.
