Work InformationThe Recipe Writer's Handbook by Barbara Gibbs Ostmann (1997)
![]() No current Talk conversations about this book. I should have read the title more carefully... this is definitely a handbook and not a how-to book. Most of it is dedicated to stylesheet type things like how to spell common recipe words. This book is suited for people who are currently writing recipes and not people who want to learn how to write good recipes. ( ![]() no reviews | add a review

The Recipe Writer's Handbook achieves both objectives in full measure."-Irena Chalmers, author and professional food writing lecturer at The Culinary Institute of America "The First Edition of The Recipe Writer's Handbook was a terrific resource, and this revised edition is downright indispensable.
