Proofreading text for a cookbook in English
125 USD We are looking for a specialist for professional proofreading and adaptation of a cookbook in English. The texts are already available but require deep editing: language corrections, readability improvements, and bringing recipes to a natural format understandable to an English-speaking audience.
This is not just proofreading — we need someone who understands how recipes "sound" in English and can rewrite them so that they look original.
What needs to be done:
- Checking grammar, punctuation, and style of the English text
- Editing recipes to a native speaker level
- Adapting terms, ingredients, and units of measurement (US/UK — to be discussed separately)
- Simplifying or rewriting unnatural formulations
- Checking the logic of recipes (steps, sequence, clarity of instructions)
Requirements for the candidate:
- Fluent or near-native level of English
- Experience working with culinary texts (recipes, books, blogs)
- Understanding the structure of recipes in the English-speaking environment
- Ability not just to correct but to adapt the text
- Attention to detail (errors, inconsistencies, illogicalities)
Will be a plus:
- Experience working with cookbooks
- Understanding the differences between US and UK recipe formats
- Experience as an editor / content editor
Volume and format of work:
- Volume: [40 pages]
- Format: [Google Docs]
- Work can be phased or complete — to be discussed
Test assignment:
Mandatory. A small fragment of a recipe to check the level of editing and approach.

10 days125 USD
392 10 days125 USDHello! I have extensive experience working with culinary content and structuring recipe databases. I have a great understanding of the difference between direct translation and professional English adaptation (localization), where it is important to adhere to specific rhythm and terminology (for example, a clear distinction between US Cup and the metric system).
How I can be useful for your book:
Authenticity: I adapt instructions so that they sound natural for a native speaker (using the correct action verbs: sauté, whisk, fold in, etc.).
Technical accuracy: I will check the logic of the steps, the correspondence of ingredients to the methods of preparation, and I will bring the units of measurement to the chosen standard (US/UK).
Style: I will make the text concise and clear, which is critically important for ease of reading during cooking.
…
Experience: I work in Google Docs and can maintain the structure and formatting of the document.
I am ready to complete a test task (a fragment of a recipe) so that you can assess my level of proficiency in culinary English. I am focused on quality and detailed work on your project.
Sincerely, Halyna.

199 5 days136 USDGood day! I have experience in editing cookbooks in English - I have worked with recipes for blogs, e-books, and printed publications. I understand how recipes should sound for an English-speaking audience: clear instructions, natural style, adaptation of terms and units of measurement to US or UK format. I will be able to not just correct grammar, but completely "translate" the text so that it looks like it was originally written by a native speaker. I am ready to complete a test task - this is the best way to see my approach to the text. Based on the results, we will discuss the terms and format of collaboration. I would be happy to work on your book!

66 7 days147 USDI am ready to take your book to work. I have experience adapting texts to English-speaking standards (US/UK), where it is important not just to translate words, but to maintain the correct "rhythm" of the recipe: from the list of ingredients to the imperative verbs in the cooking steps.
In addition to style and grammar, I will do a complete check of units of measurement and terminology throughout the text, so that the book looks cohesive. I will also check the logic: whether any ingredients have "got lost" in the process of describing the preparation.
Send a test fragment — I will adapt it so you can evaluate my approach to culinary texts.

1953 33 0 Winning proposal10 days125 USDGood day!
I have extensive experience working with English-language culinary texts — recipes, blogs, books. I understand not only grammar but also how a real English recipe "sounds": the correct rhythm of instructions, natural terminology, the logic of steps.
What I do differently than just a "proofreader":
— I transform calqued phrases into lively English
— I know the difference between US and UK formats (cups vs grams, skillet vs frying pan)
— I check the logic of the recipe, not just the language
I am ready for a test task — I will demonstrate my approach with a real example.
Deadline: 3-4 days (depending on complexity)
Write to me — we will discuss the details.
… Sincerely, Yuriy
