<\/div>\n
\u201cThe Great Family Cookbook Project is a website dedicated to helping families collect and preserve cherished recipes into a printed cookbook that can be passed down from one generation to the next,\u201d says Chip Lowell, Co-Publisher and Technical Director of the Family Cookbook Project.\u00a0 <\/span>\u201cWe are proud that our efforts have been recognized by the Web Marketing Association with this WebAward.\u00a0 <\/span>We will continue to develop our site to help families, schools and church groups create both online and printed cookbooks that become treasured heirlooms.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Family Cookbook Project Website was started as a project in 2003 to help one family collect and organize a family cookbook. Overwhelming feedback from those who used the website led to its continued development and public launch.\u00a0 <\/span>Currently, more than 41,000 families and groups have started family cookbooks using the website and contributors have entered more than 796,000 individual recipes.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cPersonalized cookbooks have been around since the 1950s, however the process of collecting and organizing recipes has always been a labor intensive project for the cookbook editor,\u201d says Lowell. \u201cNow it\u2019s easy and cost effective to have your very own cookbook printed.\u00a0 <\/span>The Family Cookbook Project website provides step by step instructions and tools to help cookbook editors invite others to participate and allow them to enter their favorite recipes directly into the online system.\u00a0 <\/span>The editor then simply reviews and edits the recipes, selects printing options, and sends the cookbook to be printed.\u00a0 <\/span>The finished printed cookbooks are then received by the editor in only a few weeks\u201d.<\/div>\n
