Create a cookbook as a wedding gift

What you need:

• Scrapbook
• Recipes
• spices
• Photos of the couple
• Memorabilia
• Decorative elements

Tinker a cookbook - the preparations

• Do some research: What are the couple's culinary preferences? What hobbies does he have, what does she particularly enjoy doing? Are there any allergies, intolerances, foods that are not tolerated or are not eaten with pleasure? What are the couple's favorite recipes?
• Collect materials: is there a favorite restaurant? Organize the menu. Collect photos of the couple, for example from trips, activities together and different moods. At best, you have photos with a kiss, an argument, and a laughing couple. The more choice you have, the better. Put together different spices and fill them in small plastic bags.

• In advance, ask each wedding guest for their personal favorite recipe and some photos.

Create and collect recipes

• Put together recipes for the cookbook, but do not use any recipes, but based on the couple's preferences. Divide the cookbook into different chapters. Create a table of contents with all the recipes.
• For example, a chapter should contain love recipes. To write Share some comments on aphrodisiacs and collect recipes for erotic soups, candy apples, hot chocolate, fiery dishes and tempting desserts. Integrate recipes with chocolate, strawberries, spices and seafood. Always pay attention to the couple's taste preferences.


Wedding newspaper - ideas for young couples

Making a wedding newspaper for the bride and groom is not a new tradition but ...

• Another chapter should include the wedding days. Present all days, starting with the first wedding anniversary, on one page each and integrate a suitable recipe. For wedding anniversaries such as wheat weddings and wine weddings this will certainly be easier than for leather ones wedding. Get creative.
• A chapter should also be included for various typical everyday situations in a couple's life. How about recipes for a reconciliation menu, sweet kisses or fruity hearts? Put together snacks for a movie night, a cozy candlelight dinner, a quick office breakfast or a "sweet little compliment".
• If the couple likes to travel, international recipes from their favorite country should also be available. You can decorate these with information from the country, impressions and memorabilia from the couple. Do they like films, create a chapter with famous recipes, like the one, for example Gingerbread man from "Shrek", Hans Landa's apple strudel from "Inglourious Basterds" or the teenage mutant's pizza Ninja Turtles?

Create and design your cookbook individually

• Use a scrapbook or ring binder with thick paper. You could also create and design individual pages and have them bound later.
• Decide on a style and stick to it throughout the cookbook. So you could pursue a nostalgic, romantic style. For this you should use natural-colored paper, such as handmade paper. You should process the photographs in such a way that they get a sepia effect. PC fonts are of course taboo with this style.
• Decide whether you want to write the recipes by hand or write them on the PC and print them out. The handwritten version looks nicer. Calligraphy a few sections or use different fonts.
• Decorate the cookbook with scrapbooking elements, photos of the couple and guests, personal mementos such as cinema tickets, the spices in the sachets and pictures. Cook some of the recipes and take photos as you go. You stick these to the recipe.
• Give your gift individual comments or aphorisms on the subject of love or food such as: "Love and kindness are the best spices for all dishes".

If you have done a good job, your gift will tell a culinary story of the love of the newlyweds.
