Courtney Day presented 5 initial ideas for recipe book themes:
1) Summer recipes with bright colors and easy meals for busy adults
2) Fancy dinner recipes with dark, formal colors for late night meals
3) "Mrs. Claus" Christmas treats for children with bright pictures
4) "Good Grub" recipes for British dishes like shepherd's pie using darker colors for cold weather
5) Low calorie, healthy vegetarian meals with bright colors and health images
Feedback was provided for each idea, noting what elements could be developed further like ingredients or printing details. Courtney's favorite idea was their first for its creative freedom, while they also liked another team member's pizza theme idea.
