How you choose the names for each recipe in your cookbook is very important. Have you noticed many people just leaf through a cookbook to later take a closer look. It is in that first read quick that determines whether the cookbook is picked up again. So Grandma's Every Day Meatloaf or Kicked Upped Tuna Fish Salad are things people will look at and come back to again. Meatloaf and Tuna Salad are not that exciting to look at but they could taste great so the name is very important to determining if you cookbook sits on a shelf or gets opened and used.

Go through your cooking magazines to see the headlines and that will give you a hint of what makes people stop to read an article is the same that will make stop to look at your recipe. Names of the people who gave you their recipe are the easiest start to the name of a recipe. I harp on the stories need to added so that the cookbook gets read with so many family members not entering a kitchen to cook but heat up a meal. The title or name of a recipe can be the thing that gets one of these non-cooks to try a recipe. You just don't want to spend all this time and effort in creating a cookbook unless your family will read it and these are just the little things to make it tilt in you favor.

By the way, don't get cooking magazines, just check them out at the grocery store. You might even buy one once a recipe grabs your attention. You just never know!
