The Process of How to Create a Family Cookbook
Step by step instructions on how
to get it done!
Creating a treasured family cookbook has never been easier.
The Great Family Cookbook Project was developed to make the process easy
to understand and accomplish.
1)
Establish an editor – The editor is the person who is responsible for
getting things started and making sure they keep moving ahead. This person is
also responsible for defining the project in terms of who to invite to
participate, which recipes to include and when to publish the book.
Every project needs a go getter to get things done.
2)
Determine who is going to contribute recipes - We have developed an easy
to use invitation tool to get the ball rolling.
All you need is each person’s name and email address.
For people without email addresses, we provide a simple letter for
you to use to contact them.
3)
Determine the size of the project and set a deadline – If you are
interested in a printed cookbook, you need to set how many recipes to ask for
from each person and when you want them submitted by.
We are all busy and tend to put off what we can.
By asking for a specific number of recipes by a specific date – say a
month or so in the future, you can get people to act on your request.
4)
Get started – Lead by example. Enter your own favorite recipes and use
the special request tool to ask for favorites that you don’t have –
yet! Reminder emails will be sent
automatically as the deadline draws near. If
not enough recipes have been added by the deadline you can extend the deadline.
5)
Start using the recipes – All of the recipes are immediately available
online on the family Cookbook page. One great way to show the benefits of the Great Family
Cookbook Project is to start using some of the recipes and thanking the people
who entered them!
6)
Prepare to publish – Before you can publish your family cookbook, you
need to begin the publishing process by freezing the content.
Members can still enter recipes and they will be available online and in
future editions, but not for this edition.
The publishing tool will help you write a dedication, select a cover and
choose printing specifications for your cookbook.
7)
Order your copies – As editor, you order the books
yourself -- and your folks can use our pre-order tool to allow each
contributor to tell you how many they'd like. Most
cookbook publishers require you to purchase at least 100 copies of your
cookbook, our printer only requires 25 copies to purchased.

8)
Enjoy your new personalized family cookbook – Give them as gifts, share
them with friends, try new family recipes, keep adding to your online collection
and be proud of your accomplishment for your family.
