As we all know it’s National Pie Week in the UK this week (I hope you saw my blog post on my favorite pie recipes on Monday?) and I have some more good news to share with you…
I’ve been working on a free recipe book to share all my Pieday Friday recipes with you! It’s been in the pipeline for a couple of months now, and I’m pleased to say that it’s finally finished!
I used the BookSmart programme from Blurb.com to create my book, which gave a novice publisher like me an easy way to create a book from the comfort of my own home! I was impressed with the selection of page layouts and backgrounds, and there’s even the option to customize the pages you’re creating with a custom-theme, which I decided to use so that I could fit in all the images and recipe information that I needed.
I’m always wary of downloading software to my computer - I don’t like to take up precious hard-drive space on my ancient laptop with programmes that I might not need – but this programme was ideal for me to use to create my book. It was surprisingly simple to use, the photo-uploader was fast (I hate waiting around!) and it was so simple to drag-and-drop images into the pages and let BookSmart do all the resizing and resolution-checking for me. You can probably guess from my ramblings-on that I am thrilled with the results of my book and I can’t wait any longer to share it with you!
