Bread Cookbook Design.
I tried to keep that in mind: We are not reading those books on a comfortable chair.
Instead of getting lost in a cookbook's long narrative of instructions and a miniature typeface, I tried to use a good font and font size.
Bold titles, bold first one or two words and last sentences are shown as headnotes. So that, reader would see more connected paragraphs.
Honest photographs facing the recipe page could mention ingredients and preparation more powerful and realistic.
