$50 Book Cover Design Contest

I have a lot of friends that like this one.

Would you crop the picture and zoom in from the elbows up. Is there a way to make the picture not so fuzzy? Get rid of all the whiteness below the model.

Would you put the title on top of the book with a dark back ground behind it? Keep it red though...I like the red. Also will you change the "eat" later to "serve" later?

Thank you

 

This looks awesome...very professional. I do want a picture of a kitchen in the background. I nice $$$ dream kitchen. Could you add that?

 

Would you try a blue or gray with the background on this?

Thank you for entering the contest. I ended up not using a cover from this contest, but all the ideas were helpful. I did send a prize of $20 to "totalX90" for doing the most work for me. His ideas were the closest to what I was hoping for. Thank you again.

 

O_O congrats...
