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.

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.
