In this tutorial I will take you through the whole process of creating a recipe book within Canva. I'll go over a smart template workflow so that you can create reusable assets that you can use again and again as optimized starting points that will save you time. In this example we'll be creating a recipe ebook, but this approach works for creating pretty much an ebook or any sort of design you can think of so it's a great approach to employ whenever you find yourself doing repetitive design work or any sort of design project where at least part of the project is similar to something you know you will want to create again in the future.
