Book Launch - Forketti

Exciting News!

Hello hungry people! I have some exciting news: I launched a recipe book on Amazon! This book isn’t just an ordinary recipe book, it’s an empty recipe book that you can fill yourself.

I came up with this idea because I wish I had something like this when I was younger. Over the years, many of my recipes and collected favourites got lost. I wish I had written them down somewhere.

In this post I share how I developed and produced the book and where you can buy it.

Development & Design

I designed this book myself. Earlier this year, I sat down and carefully thought about how it should look. I wanted to create a product that I would love to buy myself and be proud of.

I knew it should have the look and feel of a cookbook, not just a simple softcover journal. How many recipes should it hold? What other information should it have? What should the recipe page look like? What colours and title should I use for the cover? How many ingredients does an average recipe have and how much space should there be to write down the ingredients and instructions? Should I use bullet points or numbers for the instructions? What should be the colour of the paper? What should be the retail price? And most importantly, where do I produce the book and how do I handle the distribution? I had many questions in my head, which I used to structure the design and development process.

It took me a few months to have the first sample in my hands and then a couple of revisions to finalise the design.

A Collection of Recipes

This book is designed to be an empty recipe journal, ideal for organizing and storing all your favourite recipes in one place. I have named it “A Collection of Recipes” because it’s written by you. You can select, write and collect the recipes that matter most to you. Whether it’s your own culinary creations, family recipes, or those interesting finds from social media, this book serves as your personalised recipe collection.

Details

This colourful book can hold up to 60 recipes. It is a hardcover, measuring 20 cm by 27 cm (8″ by 11″). The recipe book includes a contents page with an overview of 60 lines, allowing you to write down the names of your recipes. Each line corresponds with a recipe number in the book, making it easy to find your recipes.

Made from durable, long-lasting materials, this recipe book is built to survive daily use. The cover is coated, making it easy to clean with a damp towel after a cooking session.

The recipe pages offer plenty of space to detail every ingredient and instruction. Each page is designed for easy readability, with sections for preparation time, categories and ingredients.

This recipe book makes the perfect gift for anyone who loves to cook. Whether for hobby chefs, professional chefs, recipe collectors or anyone passionate about preparing food.

The book is published and available on Amazon. I chose Amazon for publication because Forketti’s audience is worldwide, and this platform makes it easy for everyone to order. Say goodbye to loose recipe cards and random notes. Buy “A Collection of Recipes” today through the link below.

Because good recipes should never get lost!
