Last week I was pondering a
redesign of our cookbooklets, favoring a 1950s vintage feel. This week I'm still thinking about design. But I'm also thinking about supporting content and how it should be organized. A cookbooklet shouldn't just present a recipe. After
last week's class, I realized the why for a crucial step should be present.
Do you have any cookbooks that you love the design and layout of? Tell me which ones and what you love about them.
Here are some more vintage cookbook designs that caught my eye.

Update 7/16/2011: Past the initial ideas for look and feel of our cookbooklets and which recipes to include, we haven't done much more until recently. With our nine month anniversary behind us, we're finalizing the design and writing about the process of
Designing a Retro Cookbook.
