G&R Types Your Recipes

Unless otherwise specified, G&R will follow these guidelines when typing your recipes:

Abbreviations

Punctuation

• A dash will be used between quantity and package size. (ex: 1-6 oz. pkg.)
• Commas will be used to separate the ingredient and the description.
  (ex: 1 onion, diced)
• Directions will be typed in one single paragraph.
• We will use proper capitalization and spelling of brand names and standard cooking terms.
• Before your cookbook goes into production, you will receive, review and approve a proof of your book.

Gather Recipes

• Request free Recipe Forms and Category Envelopes from
  G&R. An average request is 300 to 600 Recipe Forms and
  8 to 10 Category Envelopes.
• Distribute at least 3 forms to all potential contributors. Ensure
  that everyone knows where to return their recipes by a scheduled deadline date.

Organize Recipes

• Choose divider titles. G&R’s standard divider titles can be viewed here. Custom divider titles are an enhancement that will incur an additional charge.
• Separate recipes into the appropriate categories, then sort recipes into the desired order within each category.
• Number each recipe, starting with the first recipe in the first category and continuing to the last recipe in the last category. For example, Appetizers, Beverages & Dips 1-32, then Soups & Salads 33-67, etc.
• Make copies of all recipes to use during the proofing process.
• Place each recipe section in a Category Envelope and mark each envelope with the divider title and the recipe numbers that are contained within. You may also use your own envelopes or folders.
