About this resource

Use this resource to create a classroom cookbook. You can maintain one cookbook for the whole class and have your students add recipes. Or you can provide a copy for each student to create their own cookbook.

This digital cookbook is created in Google Slides. It is fully editable for you and your students. The template is set up under “View Master”. This makes the template locked so students can’t delete the wrong things. They can add pictures and text. The table of contents is already pre-linked to each category. Additionally, this resource includes a black and white printable version. Print, photocopy and you have a nice cookbook, ready to go. There are many different ways you could choose to use this resource.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Write a set of sequential, numbered instructions for preparing a dish
Organize a recipe's ingredients into a clear, itemized list

Teaching tips

Assign one recipe category per student or small group so the whole-class cookbook fills all twelve template slides without duplicate categories
Have students delete the placeholder image textbox and insert their own photo before printing, following the template's own on-page note
Use the black-and-white version instead of the colour slides when the plan is to print and photocopy the finished cookbook

Skills covered

Sequential writing — students number and write out the steps of a recipe in the Instructions section of each template page.
Informational list-making — students record ingredients as a bulleted list on the same template page.
Digital template navigation — students add text and images to a locked Google Slides master without altering the template's structure.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Are the colour and black-and-white versions built the same way?

Yes — both include a cover, a linked table of contents, six category dividers, and the same blank recipe-template layout; the black-and-white version is meant for printing and photocopying rather than on-screen editing.
