I love my grandmothers recipe box. I have been able to find many, many family recipes that I remember from my childhood and now can introduced to my own kids. For many years a recipe box on 3 x 5 index cards was the way people collected their written recipes. However this form has many drawback.

• Recipe cards are easy to lose.
• Recipe boxes often have categories but cards are often miss filed and hard to find.
• If you want to share a recipe you have to write out another recipe card.
• Old handwriting is often hard to read
• Old handwriting fades over time
• A single recipe box can only be passed down to one member of the next generation.

However, FamilyCookbookProject.com makes it easy to turn your recipe box into a beautiful printed cookbook that is easy to share, organized, and can be passed down to future generations.
