1. Placing Your Own Imagery

Whether you’re working with a template or creating a cookbook layout of your own, you’ll want to place your own imagery. In Adobe InDesign, we can do that by going to File > Place in the software menu.

In the case of a template, make sure to select the Rectangular Frame holding the placeholder image—then place your image.

2. Place and Edit Type 

Almost every layout is going to work with type in some way—and cookbooks are certainly no exception. Use the Text Tool to edit existing type. Simply click on the type and/or text box in question, and start editing.

Want to add some new type? Click and drag with the Text Tool active to create a new text box.
