Family Cookbook Project Wins Best Publishing Award  From The Web Marketing Association


The Family Cookbook Project (http://www.familycookbookproject.com) has been named the Best Publishing Website in the Web Marketing Association’s 12th annual Internet Advertising Competition, which honors excellence in online advertising and to recognize the individuals and organizations responsible for the best in Internet marketing.  The Family Cookbook Project creates personalized cookbooks for individuals, families, church groups and schools. This is the six year that Family Cookbook Project has been recognized for their Website excellence.
 “We are proud that our efforts have been recognized by the Web Marketing Association with this award”, says Chip Lowell, Co-Publisher and Technical Director of the Family Cookbook Project.  “ The Great Family Cookbook Project is dedicated to helping families collect and preserve cherished recipes into a printed cookbook that can be passed down from one generation to the next. We will continue to develop our site to help families, schools and church groups create both online and printed cookbooks that become treasured heirlooms.”


The Family Cookbook Project Website was started as a project in 2003 to help one family collect and organize a family cookbook. Overwhelming feedback from those who used the website led to its continued development and public launch.  Currently, more than 52,000 families and groups have started family cookbooks using the website and contributors have entered nearly 900,000 individual recipes.
“Personalized cookbooks have been around since the 1950s, however the process of collecting and organizing recipes has always been a labor intensive project for the cookbook editor,” says Lowell. “Now it’s easy and cost effective to have your very own cookbook printed.  The Family Cookbook Project website provides step by step instructions and tools to help cookbook editors invite others to participate and allow them to enter their favorite recipes directly into the online system.  The editor then simply reviews and edits the recipes, selects printing options, and sends the cookbook to be printed.  The finished printed cookbooks are then received by the editor in only a few weeks”.
The Family Cookbook Project Website previously been recognized by the WebAward Competition for Website Development as the Best Publishing Website in 2013 and 2011 and Best Family Website in 2005. It also was recognized in 2012 and 2009 with the Standard of Excellence WebAward.
