I think the cook book did a good job of guiding the reader step by step through the recipes. Each recipe begins with a small paragraph that describes the dish and provides some helpful tips. A cooking time and how many servings the recipe make are also included. Red lettering, yellow dash lines, and yellow arrows were used to help guide the reader through the recipe from step to step. ( )
