I love this idea, I’ve been meaning to make a food based zine.

They're my favorite kind of zines! I make mini recipe zines in place of regular recipe cards – more real estate and easy to make multiples to give to friends. 😊

Amazing, I had this idea too. Do you illustrate the recipes or take picture? I never decided which approach would be better.

It depends on the recipe but I usually lay it out in InDesign and they're either all type or an illustration or two (I'm a graphic designer so it's easier and natural for me to do it on a computer). But I've had some ideas recently for hand drawn recipes too. I don't usually include photos because I like to print them in black and white.
