Recipe cards that spread cheer

By Dave CarlinLooking for a card to suit any occasion? Foodies will eat up Tasteful Greetings, a new line of greeting cards by Dallas cooking instructor Tina Wasserman. Dave Carlin at Greg Booth and Associates photographed them.

Each card features a mouth-watering photograph of a dessert (such as the one shown at left) or savory dish. The recipe is printed inside, and with the exception of a few cards, the right side is blank, making it adaptable to many occasions — birthday, congratulations or holiday. The back of each card features a cooking tip or a bit of food history. Pictures and recipes range from Chicken Soup (an ideal get-well card), to Lemon Ricotta Pancakes (who wouldn’t want that recipe?).

Ms. Wasserman, a food columnist for Reform Judaism magazine, made a few of the cards specific to Jewish holidays, such as Rosh Hashanah. The cards sell for $3 each, or $15 for a box of 10 (choose from either the sweet or savory collection).

Ms. Wasserman says she has dreamed of making these cards since she was 8 years old. “My aunt sent me a card in the mail, and on the back was printed a recipe for Chocolate-Orange Cake. I thought 'this is a clever idea.' "
