Modern Cookbook Print Design

I’m putting together a printed cookbook and need a designer who can translate a modern, clean aesthetic onto the page. The book will feature a full-page, high-quality photo alongside every recipe, so the layout must balance striking imagery with easy-to-follow text and clear typography.

Here’s what I expect at hand-off:
• Cover and interior page design built for print, including bleed and crop marks
• Consistent grid, font pairing and styling that keep the look airy and contemporary
• Image placeholders—or final image placement if you prefer—in high-resolution CMYK
• Press-ready PDF plus the packaged source files (Adobe InDesign preferred)

If you’ve produced cookbooks or similar photo-heavy publications before, especially for offset or on-demand printing, your experience will be invaluable. Let me know how you like to receive copy and images, any specs you need from my printer, and the timeline you’d suggest from first draft to final files.
