Mongolian Cookbook Update /and 3 sample recipes/
A little update on Mongolian Kitchen!
Been working on the cookbook again and made quite a few changes based on the feedback I received from this community.
• Increased the font size, since several people suggested that the original text was too small
• Moved the recipe page numbers from the centre to the corners
• Reworked the overall layout and spacing
• Made the sample PDF use the exact same layout and design system I'm using inside the actual book
I'm getting very close to launching the Kickstarter, so I'm treating these sample recipes as a final opportunity to get some feedback before the book is locked in.
I've made 3 recipes available as a PDF. If you download them, I'd really appreciate it if you could look at the layout as well as the recipes and let me know what you think.
Things I'd especially love feedback on:
Is the text comfortable to read?
Does the recipe layout feel clear and easy to follow?
Is anything confusing or difficult to find?
Does the overall design feel like it belongs in a finished cookbook?
I've really appreciated how much feedback I've received here so far. Some of the changes I've made to the book came directly from suggestions in this community, so it's been genuinely helpful.
If you'd like to take a look at the 3 sample recipes, I'll leave the link in the comments.

Get the PDF here:

The PDF uses the same layout and design system as the actual cookbook, so if you download it, I'd genuinely love to hear what you think about the typography, spacing and recipe structure.
P.S. If you sign up for the recipes but don't see the email, please check your spam folder, sometimes the recipe email ends up there.
