Common, easy to find ingredients. Not something exotic.

I do appreciate a few pictures. One of my favorite cookbooks put together by a church included pictures of the submitter with each recipe and a small paragraph about that person. I don't know a single person in that book, but it was fun to read anyway.

I do like the ingredients listed in the order in which you will use them.

I don't mind a few "crowd size" recipes - but please tell us that it makes a huge amount. And maybe give the same recipe only for a smaller amount.

When it's a church made cookbook, it's always kind of fun to stumble upon a recipe that you know is only in there for fun. In our church cookbook, the pastor submitted a recipe for "Elephant Stew". It's a hoot to read!!
