My Personal Project

For my 3rd year personal project I am hoping to produce a children's cook book with a monster theme...

I am planning to make the book focused on just cake recipes to make life a bit easier for myself. I have been looking through my own cook books and ones in shops to get an idea of how the book should be set out... It will contain a contents page, a "what you will need" page, all the recipes starting with the most simple working up to the more complicated ones, a page for notes and possibly a games page at the back because it's a book intended for children.

The book will be aimed at young children (Aged 3-10) and their parents so they can cook together.

I want each recipe to have it's own monster character along with a little story to make the book more fun. So far I only have one monster idea for "Bumble Bear Brownies" these will simply be ordinary brownies with honey drizzled on top. There will be a short story or description of the Bumble Bears, the recipe, illustrations and a photograph of what the finished thing should look like.

My hope is to work the photos alongside the illustrations. For example, have one of the monsters holding up the photo of the finished cake so it seems more interactive and more fun to look at.
