Our Materials
Built to Last. Designed to Cook From.
At Thyme Cookbooks, every material we use is chosen with one thing in mind — a cookbook that holds up to real life in a real kitchen. From the weight of the paper to the feel of the cover in your hands, we believe the quality of your book should match the care you put into your recipes.
Paper
We print on heavyweight #100 paper — a substantial, high-quality stock that gives every page a premium feel. It's thick enough to handle full-page food photography beautifully, and sturdy enough to stand up to the occasional kitchen splash or floury thumb. You'll notice the difference the moment you turn the first page.
Full Color Printing
Every cookbook is printed in full color from cover to cover. Whether you're including rich food photography, hand-drawn illustrations, or vibrant recipe headers, our printing process reproduces color accurately and vividly. Your roasted tomatoes will look like roasted tomatoes — deep, warm, and real.
Metal Coil Binding
Our cookbooks are bound with a durable metal coil that allows every page to lie completely flat on your counter. No holding the book open with a jar of olive oil. No losing your place mid-recipe. Lay the book down, step back, and cook. The pages stay exactly where you leave them.
Hardcover with Foil Printing
Our hardcovers are built to be kept. Sturdy and beautifully finished, each cover features foil printing that catches the light and gives your cookbook a distinctive, shelf-worthy presence. Whether it's a gift or a personal keepsake, the cover tells people this is something worth holding on to.
