Make a Family Cookbook

April 8th, 2008

  My inner Martha Stewart is making a rare appearance these days before she goes back into her usual hibernation….I am organizing a family cookbook!

My husband’s  side of our family put together a wonderful family cookbook that each family member can go to when looking for their family’s favorite recipes etc…I loved the idea and wanted to do it for my side of our family. 

I found a phenomenal site called Heritage Cookbook.  Even Oprah likes it…

The best part of being able to make and publish your family cookbook with this site is that everyone you want to contribute can enter their recipes on their own.  You simply sign up, add your desired contributors, and an email is sent to them to invite them to join in on your cookbook adventure!  This saves the cookbook organizer from needing to decipher family penmanship and enter in all the recipes.   Ugghh…the horror!

Make your own cookbook if you are a “culinary queen,”  gift a collection of your family recipes to your mom for mother’s day, or make a cookbook to sell and donate the proceeds to charity! Actually 5% of your purchases to this company go to charity.  Also, they only print on FSC approved paper so Heritage Cookbook.com has that great green thing going for them!  Great great stuff!

The customer service here is top-notch.  When you email Susan Love, the creator of this site a question or comment, she gets right back to you with whatever information you need!  That is so valuable! 

Enjoy!
