Creating a Cookbook with InDesign
In cookbook production, InDesign’s long-document features are the not-so-secret ingredient for success.
Humans have always had an infatuation with cookbooks. Almost as far back as the invention of the printed word, you’ll find cookbooks in all their sticky, stained, and dog-eared glory.

When I’m teaching InDesign one-on-one, I use a cookbook to teach it, since I can show all the major parts of InDesign when laying it out and can usually get through it in one day.
I also have same experience, we did a cookbook, but we started with a template :)

Thanks for sharing that, Herb! I’ll add a note in the article too, since not everyone reads the comments.
It’s too bad it doesn’t work for the newer versions.
Thanks for the heads up, Kathryn. I took it out of the post. It’s a bummer because there’s no reason why it shouldn’t work. None of the features it uses have changed.
