Added Extras
Design - Information on double page spreads
In order to provide information
to the children about where their food comes from I had added a flap that they
could lift up which contains information about where I had gotten the ingredient’s
from along with a little member-able quite saying ‘Think Locally’. On the front
of the flap I have added a hand rendered image of cherries to represent the recipe.

E-Books
These E-Books are available from – Reading Oceans – these are just some
of the cookbooks they offer for children. 
Cover, Spine & Back - Prototype 2
I chose to use hand drawn imagery and use a wash of water colour. I also changed the name to 'The family sustainable cookbook'. I also wanted a small plain border going around the book so I added that and the spine would be the same colour of the border. I chose for this to be simple but colourful, that's why I used a various amount of colours for the fruits and vegetables.

Research Task - London Book Fair
Source three different innovations
1. Kitchen Sticky Notes – helpful notes for
the home cook
The design of the front cover of this
book (full of sticky notes) is very effective and different, as it uses different
kitchen utensils in block colours to make up the cover. I picked this up because
of the simplicity of the cover with a bold purple pot in the middle with the text
on which I think works very well. I think in regards to this being suitable for
children I think it could be as its simple and easy to read, but I think it is
aimed at adults.
2. Chocolate – 50 easy recipes
I was immediately drawn to these
books as I found that with the front covers being an image of the main
ingredient in the books amazing! I think these books are brilliant as the books
just contain 50 recipes based on the front cover image, so you know exactly what
you’re getting from the books. Again I think this could be aimed at children
with a giant chocolate bar book but I think when it comes to the recipes they
would need to be varied in the book.
3. Junior chef – Kids can cook
I chose to look at this as not only is it a recipe
book for children it also comes with an apron, hat and spatula for the children
which I know children would love as then they would be a ‘Junior Chef’. This could
be very appealing to all children because they would want to dress up in the outfit
and cook, but with children 8+ it may seem childish to them so they may not
have any interest in dressing up.

This E-Book
shows the process of growing vegetables for a vegetable soup and then at the
end it shows the recipe of how to cook the soup. Bright bold colours have been
used, easy to read and very child friendly.
Kid Cooking
Activity E-Books by Kids Cooking Activities
These Kids Cooking Activities E-books will provide multiple
activities and lessons for kids who love to cook. Their books are information
b0ooks for children to learn about food facts to how to cook.
Fancy Fruity Chocolate Bites - Prototype 2
I chose to use
hand drawn imagery and 1 photograph of the final outcome. The children will be able
to colour in the hand drawn images. I got rid of the other photos as I thought
that it would look better with just an instruction page with some hand drawn images.
I chose for this to be simple as I want the children to add all the colour on the
page by colouring in the images. So I would also provide a pack of crayons with
this book. I also changed the recipe from using strawberries to cherries.
Easy Cheesy Eggy Bread - Prototype 2

hand drawn imagery and 1 photograph of the final outcome. The children will be able
to colour in the hand drawn images. I got rid of the other photos as I thought
