Nara Smith has become an icon on TikTok, instantly recognizable from her aesthetically pleasing cooking content with soft-spoken voice-overs. Smith’s earliest videos currently visible on her channel are fashion-focused, but it was only when she started to post recipe videos making food from scratch that Nara’s channel started to blow up. Food isn’t the only thing that Nara whips up in her videos, she’s also made toothpaste, soap and cola to name a few. Racking up millions of views on each video, Nara Smith has become a familiar face to TikTok users. We’ve been inspired by her creativity and as a result we’ve used Picsart to create a Nara Smith themed cookbook cover (from scratch, of course).

If you own a food-centered business, we hope this serves as inspiration for you to create your own cookbook, which could be sold either as a physical product or as an e-book. Turn your food truck’s best sellers into a popular PDF download, or take your meal prepping business to new heights by releasing a step-by-step guide on how to build great high protein lunches. Whatever your focus, take a page out of our book and get creating by following the steps below.

1. Head over to picsart.com or open up the Picsart app

In templates search ‘book cover’ and choose one that fits the vibe you’re going for. For this cover, we chose a minimalist design which is sleek and modern to mirror Nara’s content.

2. Next it’s time to change the copy

Make sure that your text reflects both your brand and the contents of your recipe book. Simply select the text you want to change and include your carefully crafted title. We’ve titled this cookbook ‘Made from Scratch’ to reflect how Nara makes all of her creations from their bare ingredients. 

3. Now you get to include an image

This can be selected from Picsart’s extensive library, or you can upload your own. Take the time to decide what kind of photo or graphic you feel best represents your book. In this case, we’ve chosen an image from Picsart’s library. Nara is known for her banana bread, so a photo of a loaf cake was the obvious choice. We resized this to eliminate some of the empty space and to make our cover more visually captivating. 

4. Effects are a great way to adjust an image to fit your desired look

Navigate to the Effects tool and have a play around to see which works best for your cover. We’ve chosen a black and white filter to align with Nara’s clothing’s muted color palette and to replicate her sophistication.

5. Tweak your cover to perfection

Now you’re ready to fill it with your recipes and get selling! We love how ours came out and we’d love to see your creations too. Tag us on social media if you try this out for yourself. 

The fun doesn’t stop at cookbook covers! Picsart has a whole range of templates for you to try out.
