Recipe Book Pages
For my recipe pages I was given the country of Morocco, I chose two different recipes, Moroccan Chicken Tagine and Moroccan Haracha Semolina Pan-Fried Flat-bread. My recipe pages were created on Microsoft Publisher, I chose to do a red background because one of the colors in the Moroccan flag is red, I also included a boarder around each page of my recipes. On each page I included the ingredients to make the recipe and the directions for how to make the recipe, each step is numbered so it is easy to follow while making the recipe. Lastly I included my page numbers at the bottom of the pages so I could include it in our class recipe book. The numbers I received were twelve and thirteen for the two pages in the class cook book.
