Fire up the grill! As summer is underway, many men and women (and children!) are eager to show off their impressive cooking skills at barbecues, birthday parties and more! And aside from a chef’s hat and a ‘kiss the cook’ apron, what else is something that your culinary expert doesn’t have? His/her face on a magazine cover, that’s what! The recognition of being the favorite chef in the family is a great honor, and the best way to bestow it is through a custom cooking magazine cover! Here’s how: cdfewf
  • Show off their skills! You can do this a number of ways, and it starts with either a photo of them cooking or their prized dish! This is huge for them, and the photo means the most! Make sure it’s a good angle and you get the grill marks and garnish in the photo!
  • Create Funny Headlines. There has to be a funny catchphrase used by many chefs, and if not, this is the time to also get creative with it. You can also use their famous dishes and past cooking experiences for headlines to showcase their proven track record of being the ‘grill king’, ‘fry-chef’, and so on!
  • Make sure to include what you love about their cooking as well! Nothing makes your master chef feel as if they’re great at what they do than pointing out their strengths on the grill or the stove. This is where you can let them know that their baking is great, or they’re a master with getting the perfect steak char. Your custom magazine cover can be created any way you’d like it to!
