The food and atmosphere were so popular, you had to make reservations a year ahead of time for your Christmas party. The cookbook I wrote was with their recipes and stories. I loved writing this cookbook; it was so much fun. The program was easy to follow. The final product was so nice it went to a third printing.

Jeanne Behen and her cookbook

“I bought a notebook and asked my mom to write down all the recipes I loved that she’d always made. My mom is now passed and I’m grateful I asked her to do that. The pages are stained and fading from overuse. So I took photos of that notebook as well as some of my own that my kids love and created this book. It is wipeable and now a second copy of my mom’s beautiful penmanship.”

Back in 2006, you published my family’s cookbook, “The Hart Family Cookbook”. I am potentially interested in ordering more copies if it is still in your database, I have not looked over pricing. Hard to believe that this cookbook came out when I was 5 and today at 22 I still use, love, and cherish it! I want to thank you for being around so my family could make this. With some of our contributors now passed on, some I never got the chance to meet, it is so lovely having these little recipes from them to feel close to family from so far away.
— Ashley Proudfit, The Hart Family Cookbook

Just got my copies of the cookbook and it looks great! Thank you for your help, support, hand-holding, and most of all, putting out a wonderful product!

I gifted the cookbook to my daughter and two daughters-in-law and they were absolutely thrilled!

Thank you for working with me to accomplish this most treasured gift.  I plan to order more in the future.
Mary Artese, The Fondest Memories Are Made When We Gather Around the Table Family Cookbook

I can’t even tell you how excited I was to get my box of cookbooks!!! Last January I started looking online for a program to produce a cookbook from my recipes. I wanted them for Christmas for my daughters and daughter-in-laws. I anticipated taking all year typing them up. When I found this program using photographs of the recipe cards I was thrilled! Absolutely brilliant and the process was so slick! I wanted to keep it a secret but worried I would have to ask for help as I’m not that computer savvy, but I did the whole thing myself! It was very simple and definitely earns five stars from me! The finished book is beautiful. My family is beyond thrilled and I look forward to gifting these to my grandchildren as well. Thank you for your program that took me way beyond my expectations.

When I received my cookbook on my front step, I felt like it was Christmas!  Thank you so much for the beautiful cookbook and your website that helped make it possible to print my Gluten Free Christmas Cookbook.  I wrote it for my children, so they would have the tastes of home as they grow up and move out on their own.  Yet, I truly hope it helps many celiac families enjoy traditions when gluten can no longer be part of them! Thanks again for the user friendly website and the BEAUTIFUL printing quality.

— Rebecca Masinter, Wanda’s Kitchen

This software was very easy (and intuitive) to use!  Anyone with basic computer and word processing skills can turn out a beautiful cookbook.

— Merilyn S Johnson, The Johnson Family Cookbook Happy Memories

Ellen Bramson and her cookbook “In The Kitchen With Ruth”

I have really enjoyed locating and entering our recipes into your program. It has been a wonderful initiation of conversation and memory sharing with family members that we’ve not had much contact with recently.
— Ina Woodruff, Woodruff Family Tree Cookbook

My son is getting married and we thought it will be a great idea to give him the family recipes but most of the recipes are in Spanish because I was born in Uruguay and my parents are from Spain.
That’s when I found you! I can’t be happier with the results. My son and his wife love it. Thank you for the work you did in helping me with this project .
–Maria Minor, The Monir Family Cookbook

— Richele A, La Cucina Della Nonna

The cookbooks arrived and I couldn’t be happier!   Very well done!    Thank you both very much for your help.   I am spreading the word, and I do believe

several people may be using your program to make their own cookbook.
–Paula W, Graham Wedding Cookbook

My Family Cookbook is a work in progress. I still find recipes that my family enjoys, so I add them to the Cookbook. I cook for a dozen eaters, so recipes are mostly for those qualities so that I don’t have to double or triple a recipe.
–Tina Huemmer, Huemmer Family Cookbook

I wanted to find a way to make a cookbook for future generations of our family. I started entering them into a folder on my laptop. What a frustrating process. My daughter found Family Cookbook Project, gave it to me for a Mother’s Day Present. After that it was so easy & took no time to get the project done. I sent a message out to family members then entered everyone’s email address in and we had a cookbook in just a few months. What a terrific idea. My families are so happy to have all their recipes in one book. I love this so much I am thinking of doing another cookbook.
–Joanette Stillman, Family Cookbook 2020

I was so frustrated having to sort through a box of recipes to find the one I needed. After researching different software and reading the reviews – I feel this was the right choice for me. It was difficult to operate once I started using it. Afterwards it was so easy. I look forward to the tips provided and new features offered. By preparing this cookbook for my family – until their ready to enjoy cooking for their own families. I have left a legacy for them to enjoy in the future. I no longer have to sort through paper recipes, and have a box of shame. Now it’s all electronic and with a push of a few buttons – it’s on my computer screen. Thank you.
–Cindy, Sharing Our Favorite Recipes – Cindy & Vince – From Our Kitchen to yours!

My greatest moment was while doing research I found out my great Aunt was a cook nun for the Notre Dame order of nuns. When she retired to the convent in

Waterdown Ontario she became their baker. I had the privilege of visiting the convent and took pictures of her personal cookbook.
–Yvonne, Cronin Family Cookbook

When my daughter got engaged I wanted to have a collection of family recipes to give as a gift to her. It took me several months to gather and enter several hundred recipes, but I got it done, had it printed and presented it to her at her bridal shower. She teared up she was so moved.
–Jeannie , The Wally Family Cooks

I like being able to add recipes when it’s convenient and add a photo. Along with typing the preparation in my desired layout. Years ago I produced a 4 generation family cookbook. I had to pay for them to type in. This is a much better format. We have just started the project and look forward to seeing our family recipes all together and preserved for our young children. Also, we love that if we’re grocery shopping we can look up a recipe and make sure we have not forgot any ingredients. Don’t hesitate to start your cookbook your family will be grateful for all the recipes and memories you preserved.
–Marty, Happy Cooking Memories! 

A wonderful walk down memory lane for both my wife and me. As we wrote the recipes and their connection to us , we agreed it was an awesome project to take on and share these wonderful memories with our children and grandchildren !
–Anonymous

Megan Young and two of her family cookbooks,

I created “Angie’s Family Cookbook” for my kids and nephews as they head off to college and to living on their own so that they could have all the family recipes they need. I have collected recipes from 5 generations of our family that the kids know and love. It is our family history, and I loved sharing it with them.
— Angela, Angie’s Family Cookbook

This was a great experience for my family. I had everyone contribute and I tried out every recipe before it made it in the final version.
— Alison, Davis Family Cookbook 

My daughter-in-law begged me for years to give her all my old Italian and Portuguese recipes that were handed down from my relatives. I finally decided to do it, so I researched a dozen sites that offered cookbook programs. I actually started a book on two of them…but finally gave up. They were difficult to maneuver, impossible to edit, and low on the totem pole with customer service. Thank goodness I finally found The Great Family Cookbook Project! It is well organized, has lots of options, customer service is great if you ever need it (not likely) … and SO easy to use that when I gave the first version to my daughter-in-law last Christmas, I actually had to LIE to tell her how hard I worked to put it together!
