Has anyone done a family cookbook?
Just one more thought----Has anyone done a family cookbook? Or maybe one for your church or quilt group?
I'd like to put together my reciepe , and my Mom's to give to my DD for a Christmas gift.
She always E mails me for "Mom, what is the pecan pie, or sweet potato caserole " before Thanksgiving or Christmas. This way if I'm hit by a bus, or the plane goes down, she will have them. Will have to start during the summer.
I did find on line "The cookbook People" where I could buy the software, it is only $34.00 for the basic, then add ons are extra.
Any thoughts?

Check the Tastebook site if you want a single printed book, or just a few copies. There are some recipe programs available (even free downloads I believe) and tons of websites. Depends upon what you want to spend, how much you want to do yourself, how many copies you are going to want, etc. Joleen in MN
Sara, one of my sister's did a family cookbook. She added family pictures and stories as well as many recipes. It took her about 10 years. :-) I'm wondering if you wanted to add a few pictures, would something like Shutterfly work for you? You could upload jpg files of recipes as well as a few pictures. Those books run under $20 I believe.
Good luck and do keep us posted!

I have two family cookbooks. One was compiled by my sister and has recipes from both sides of the extended family. She even had the nerve to put in nutrition breakdowns (including the caloric content for my caramels). The other book is one that I bought at a bookstore. It is called Favorite Family Recipes and was a blank book. I gave it to my mom for "my" birthday one year. She put in a whole lot of the recipes that she made for our family, including the Christmas Eve Swedish dishes. Needless to say, this one is one of my favorite cookbooks ever.

We did this for my family a few years ago. It was great, got all sides to give us the favorite ones that we had at Easter etc. then candy was fun. Hope you make a memory as well as a book
