2.  A vegetarian is a person who does not eat anything of which an
animal would have been killed for and so do not eat meat – beef
and chicken for example and also they do not eat fish.
 A veganis someone who will not eat anything that has come from
an animal – they will not eat meat or fish. They also will not eat
things such as; eggs or drink milk, instead they would
eatthingssuch as; fruit, vegetables and pasta.
 The companies that produce recipes for vegetarians and vegans
are; Quorn, Redwood and the Vegetarian society.

4.  This leak and ginger soup would be very suitable for both vegetarians
and vegans. I think this soup would be appealing to adults and young
adults, for children I'm not so sure, as the taste may not be
appealing to some of them.
 The layout of the recipe card is quite standard but formal and simple
to read at the same time – you have your photograph of which is a
reasonable size and it also has a clear view of the soup on one side of
the page, of which the image has been taken at a good angle as you
can see the bowl and top of the soup rather than just straight
downwards. Then you have the recipe on the other side of the
page, the recipe is set out very clearly so it is easy to follow the
instructions, the ingredients is at the top and the method at the
bottom. However the only downside to the layout is that whilst the
font is ok and easy to read, the green colored font maybe difficult to
read as it is quite a pale green. The colours of the recipe card are all
the same, a mixture of green and white, so the recipe card doesn’t
really stand out.

6.  This recipe card looks like it has a clear Christmas theme to it, for
the colours they are using a pale colour scheme and so it
matches the theme and so again like the previous one it doesn’t
stand it too well and catches the eye, it is a very boring colour
choice. Again the layout is very similar to the previous one with a
photograph of the food on one side and the recipe on the other
side. The photograph is very clear and the food has been
positioned well well it was taken, as you can see the whole of it
not just the top. As for the recipe, the method and the
ingredients are separated out so they are easy to see, as for the
writing there looks to be quite a bit of it, which makes it look
more complicated then it needs to be but it is set out well so it
would be easy to follow.

8.  This looks like a classic recipe book layout style. It look like a
recipe for adults as it is not simple enough for children, it is all
words and not set out in picture form like some children's recipe
books. The layout is the same as a normal recipe with the method
on one side and the photograph on the other, I personally think
that this layout is very popular as you have the writing for the
recipe set out clearly on one side of the page and you have an
image to compare your finished product to. There looks to be
quite a bit of writing on the page, making it look more
complicated then it needs to be however it is spaced out well with
ingredients in a corner and then the method taking up the rest of
the page. They are using a standard font and colour which makes
it easy to read. The photograph from my perspective is very dull
and quite dark, it could have done with more lighting in the
image, but as for the layout, it is done quite well you can see how
it looks, but it looks a very basic image which could have been
taken by the person themselves.

10.  This looks like another classic recipe book recipe. I think this
would mainly be for adults as like I said before it would be to
complex for children, as mostly they have picture format recipe
books.
 The layout is very clear and everything is spaced out well, the
recipe side looks well laid out in just a standard black and white
form, the writing and the font colour is in a formal and easy to
read font, the size at of the font is also good as it is clear. At the
other side of the double page is the image of the food, it is a
good image – it shows you what you need to see but is not
anything fancy, the person themselves could have taken it, but
the lighting is set up well. I think the layout of the recipe pages
could be better, for example they could have had the pages a bit
brighter or taken the image from an interesting angle to make
the pages more eye catching.

12.  This recipe looks like something from a website. I think this
recipe would be more for adults – again, as it looks a bit complex
to actually make for children.
 The layout of this recipe is bizarre, it has an image at one side
showing the soup and then a small clump of writing for the
recipe. The image looks a little tacky as the colours are all very
pale in the image and then you have this bright red in the middle
of the image, compared to other kinds of food images I have just
looked at, they all look professionally done compared to this one
of which doesn’t look ‘real’. The text in this image is all clumped
together, it lists all the ingredients you need to use at the
bottom, where as other recipes have them at the top, then you
have your method, but that is not in stages it is just a paragraph.
The size of the font is ok and easy to read, however there is just
to much going on, you have a bold bright blue title which is
underlined and in italics, and then there is the method in a plain
black standard font which is the only good thing, and then the
ingredients in a a difficult to read pale blue in a completely
different font.

14.  This recipe looks like it is from a children’s cookery book. You can
tell that this recipe is for children just by the way it is set
out, mostly with pictures instead of a lot of words so it is easier
for the children to understand.
 All of the images and text on the page look quite cramped up
together which is quite confusing, they could have spaced it all
out into two pages so then it would be more spaced out for the
children to read. The text is in a standard clear font in a formal
colour so it is clear to read. The images in the method look
illustrated – and therefore look good however they could have
done with brighter colours being used as the whole page is
consisting of the same pale colours. The image of the salad looks
ok, but strange next to illustrations, to make it look better they
could have taken images for the method instead of illustrations.

16.  This recipe again looks like it is from a children's recipe
book, from the way that it is set out with images explaining the
method. But it does look like it could be from an adult recipe
book as well.
 The layout of the page is good as it is all nicely spaced out and
not clumped together, which makes it easy for people to
understand and so they can quickly read it, it also has an image
in the corner and the ingredients in the other corner leaving room
for the method below. The text is clear and in a formal
font, colour and size making it easy to read. The images are all
very clear – the images for the method look illustrated and the
main image for the end result looks like it is an image that was
taken but has an illustrated effect. All of the page has the same
colour scheme of which is quite pale and it is all of the same kind
of colour through out.

18.  This is from a children’s recipe book you can tell as the
instructions are quite simple.
 The layout of the recipe page is quite plain – it is all black and
white which is not very appealing to children, so they could have
included colour on the page which would have made it more fun
and eye catching to the children rather than just making the page
balck and white. The text, size and colour are all quite formal and
easy to read for a child. The image on the recipe page is just of a
child cooking – not of a finished product of which the recipe is
telling you how to make, they should have included an image of
some pancakes to tell you how it was going to look like.The
actual way how the text is set out is quite bizarre as you have a
small explanation then an instruction and then your ingredients
and then another instruction. To improve this they should have
written down the instructions of the ingredients first and then the
method to make it simpler for the child, and then also it would
have been set out correctly in an original recipe layout.
