  • Making A Recipe Your Own

    Making A Recipe Your Own

    Recipes are all around us. We find recipes that become favorites and mainstays for our own families. Printed cookbooks, from friends and family, old recipe boxes, magazines, newspapers, websites are all sources of great recipes.

    When we find a new recipe, we often will modify that recipe to make it our own. Sometimes it is by eliminating some of the ingredients, adding different ingredients for different amounts of the ingredients, or simplifying the directions. All are ways that we make a recipe our own.

    Family cookbook project makes it easy for you to get these recipes into your own family cookbook. Whether you type them in, cut and paste them from a document or website or upload an image of the recipe, we make it easy to collect your favorite recipes in one printed cookbook.

    However, we also have a responsibility to those people who created the original recipe. It is very appropriate in your personal note to include the source of the original recipe.

    While it is generally accepted that recipes cannot be copyrighted, photos certainly are. If you add a photo from a recipe that you found until you’ve been able to make the recipe and replace it with your own photo, you should mark your recipe private so it is not shared with anyone else outside your cookbook.

    For further reading, here are some links to articles on copywriting recipes.

  • Dying to Get Your Recipe Remembered

    Dying to Get Your Recipe Remembered

    Source: New York Times

    Some people will do anything to make sure their recipes are not forgotten when they pass on.

    The New York Times recently posted and article by  that they say you can’t take it with you, but recipes do disappear when loved ones die. Some families have found a novel way to record them for posterity. The article is entitled Family Recipes Etched in Stone. Gravestone, That Is. and highlights several families that have had special recipes carved in stone so they are not forgotten.

    In cemeteries from Alaska to Israel, families have memorialized their loved ones with the deceased’s most cherished recipes carved in stone. These dishes — mostly desserts — give relatives a way to remember the sweet times and, they hope, bring some joy to visitors who discover them among the more traditional monuments.

    Our course, we at Family Cookbook Project, know there is a much easier way to preserve special recipes for future generations and create a lasting tribute to a someone who was a great cook – preserve their recipes in a printed family cookbook that can be shared and cherished.

Our program has helped thousands of individuals organize recipes by providing professionally designed covers and recipe layouts, automatically created table of contents and index of recipes for beautiful printed cookbooks.

  • Give the Gift of Crypto This Holiday Season

    Give the Gift of Crypto This Holiday Season

    Many Americans are planning on giving the gift of crypto currency this year, but many don’t know how, according to a new study by crypto lending firm BlockFi revealed.

    Crypto currency is a growing form of digital asset that has become very popular over the last few years. There is a lot of hype around bitcoin, the first successful crypto currency. Some people claim it will become the world’s reserve currency and is becoming an equivalent to digital gold.

    Bill Rice, Co-founder of Family Cookbook Project, has started a new company to make giving crypto as easy as possible. His company has created CryptoBuxx, a series of gift certificates backed by popular crypto coins like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Dogecoin and Cardano.

    “The BlockFi survey points out a lack of knowledge on how to actually give the gift crypto”, said William Rice, founder of CryptoBuxx. “While one in ten plan on giving crypto this year, less than a quarter of respondents actually knew how to send crypto to someone as a gift. That is why we created CryptoBuxx crypto gift certificates. It is an easy way to give the gift of Crypto to someone even if they do not have a crypto wallet.”

    How CryptoBuxx Work

    Cryptocurrency or crypto is a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange wherein individual coin ownership records are stored in a computerized ledger using strong cryptography to secure transaction records, to control the creation of additional coins, and to verify the transfer of coin ownership. Before CryptoBuxx, the recipient would need to already have a crypto wallet in order to receive crypto coins. Now coins can be given as gift certificates and redeemed later.

    CryptoBuxx are offered in two types:

    Printed – Printed on offset-presses, the colorful printed CryptoBuxx are 2.625 x 6.125 inches, approximately the size of a US Dollar bill. It features images from the crypto coin’s website on two sides. A security code is covered with a scratch off covering for additional security.

    Digital – The digital version of the CryptoBuxx is a PDF that can be downloaded or delivered via email. The files include an image of the front of the Buxx design along with directions on how to redeem.

    Each CryptoBuxx contains a 256-bit encrypted serial number along with a covered security code that are required for redemption. A QR code is included to allow user easy access to our website for redemption or to check the current value.

    When an individual comes to the CrytoBuxx Products page, they can select the crypto coin and denomination, paper or digital type and number of Buxx requested. The system will price the coins at the current market value including transaction costs, and the individual can add them into their shopping cart for purchase.

    CryptoBuxx can be purchased with credit cards, PayPal or several popular crypto coins including BTC, BNB, Link, ADA, DOGE, SHIBA, HNT, USDT and USDC.

    Before a CryptoBuxx is sold, the corresponding crypto coins have already been purchased and held in a cold wallet offline for added security. Once the Buxx is sold and shipped, the Buxx is activated and awaits redemption. The website walks users though creating their first crypto exchange account if they do not already have one. When the CryptoBuxx is redeemed,  the coins are transferred to the redeemers crypto wallet.

    To learn more and to give the gift of Crypto to someone special this holiday season, to go www.CryptoBuxx.com.

  • 1911 Cookbook Might Be One Of The First Family Cookbooks

    1911 Cookbook Might Be One Of The First Family Cookbooks

    Family Cookbooks have been around for  long time. Sometimes they are the work of an individual compiling their recipes, other times they are the join effort of a community.

    Recently, a cookbook called ‘250 Tried Recipes for Everyday Use’ features numerous recipes supplied by housewives around the UK back in 1911, and was discovered in a kitchen of a property that had been left unused since the 1950s in the United Kingdom.

    The fascinating publication provides an insight into the basic ingredients and cooking methods used at the time and all instructions are boiled down to one paragraph.

    It also includes a cheeky recipe on how best to ‘cook a husband’ as too many ‘are utterly spoiled by mismanagement’. Comical descriptions include ‘keeping them in hot water’, ‘roasting them’ or keeping them ‘in a stew with irritating ways and words.’ The housewife also suggests ‘add a little sugar in the form of what confectioners call kisses’ and that ‘a little spice improves them’.

    Read an article on the cookbook that appeared on the UK’s Daily Mail’s website, including additional recipes and pages from the historic cookbook.
