Cookbook Printing & Happy 4th!

Over the past few years, we've had the privilege of photographing, designing, and printing several cookbooks. We love these projects because not only do our clients receive a beautiful end product, but sometimes we get to serve as taste testers. Tough job, but somebody's gotta do it!

To produce these cookbooks, we'll usually do an on-location photo shoot at the client's kitchen where we style and photograph the food for the recipes. Then, the client may chose to come to our studio to work one-on-one with our designers. This way they are an active part of the layout and design of the book, and the printed product is just the way they envisioned it.

Since July 4th is tomorrow, we wanted to share a grilling recipe from one of the cookbooks that could work for your BBQ celebrations...
