  • Happy Birthday Family Cookbook Project!

    Happy Birthday Family Cookbook Project!

    Since October 4, 2004, Family Cookbook Project has been helping families create personalize cookbooks to preserve their treasured recipes.

    It all started when my extended family was sitting around the dinner table on Cape Cod reminiscing about all of the food we loved growing up and wouldn’t it be great to have a cookbook that contained all of those cherished recipes. I designed a website that would allow family members from all over submit recipes and had my long-time friend Chip Lowell do the programming. It was a hit and that is how Family Cookbook Project started!

    Over the past 18 years, we have helped more than 98,000 editors create cookbooks with more than 315,000 contributors adding 2.51 million recipes! Our publishing platform has evolved as editors have asked for new functionality and Chip has found new software that makes designing easier to accomplish online.

    In 2010, we launched a sister site, CookbookFundraiser.com to help schools, churches, scout troops, sports teams and other charitable organizations raise needed funds by creating a community cookbook that can be sold for a profit. This site uses the same publishing system designed for FamilyCookbookProject.com, but provides additional tools for working with larger groups of contributors and adding advertising to their cookbook.

    To start your own customize cookbook visit familycookbookproject.com.

  • Recipes Are More Than Cooking Instructions

    Recipes Are More Than Cooking Instructions

    Everybody knows that recipes help us make the dishes that we want to eat, however they can be so much more than just that.

    Behind every recipe you love is a story to be told.

    People love to learn more about a recipe before making it. How the recipe came to be, what things can be changed in it and why it is important in your life.

    At FamilyCookbookProject.com our recipe form includes a space for personal notes. These notes allow you to tell your recipe story to others who you’ll share it with.

    Here are some ideas of what you can put in the personal notes of a recipe:

    • How are you first came across the recipe period
    • When you first served the dish.
    • Ingredients that can be switched out to make it healthier without affecting the overall result.
    • Memories of other people serving this recipe before you.
    • Side dishes or other food that accompanies it well.

    So next time you enter a new recipe into FamilyCookbookProject.com, remember to share its story.

  • Fundraising Is A Fact Of Life

    Fundraising Is A Fact Of Life

    Fund Raising with cookbooksFundraising is a fact of life for many organizations. People in the community love to help a good cause however often get tired of the same fundraisers year after year.

    One new way that many churches schools and nonprofit organizations are raising funds is with a cookbook fundraiser.

    A cookbook fundraiser can be very profitable and a fun community event that creates a valuable community cookbook that will be remembered for a long time.

    Using a website, like cookbookfundraiser.com, makes it easy to gather recipes and design a beautiful cookbook including recipe layouts and indexes.

    Here are tips for creating a cookbook fundraiser from cookbookfundraiser.com:

    1. Establish an editor and or committee to manage the cookbook process. The editor and committee are responsible for the design of the cookbook.
    2. use your traditional communication tools to invite individuals in your community to contribute recipes to your cookbook. Allow them two I had their recipes online so your editor doesn’t have to do it for that.
    3. Set a deadline for submitting recipes about a month out. People will always procrastinate to the last moment so giving them more time will just delay the project.
    4. Increase your profits by including advertising in your cookbook. Local businesses love to support good causes and are willing to place small space adds in fundraising cookbooks. You can more than double your profit I including ads in your cookbooks.
    5. When your cookbook is printed, go back to everyone who contributed recipes and get them to purchase your cookbook. Also remind them that cookbooks make great Christmas gifts!

    A successful Cookbook Project can bring a community together for a common cause. Many memorable events center around food and a cookbook will be well received.
