I\u2019ve finished the book and you\u2019ve already sent it! I love your site! You were so helpful and fast with responses to my questions.<\/div>\n
Thanks so much!<\/div>\n
— Sarah Stafford, Favorite Family Recipes<\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

The app\/website was so easy to use. I had been wanting to create a cookbook of my family\u2019s favorite recipes for so long; and when my friend told me about the gift of the cookbook project she received from her kids last Christmas, I knew I had to do it too. I was not disappointed.
\n— Kim Hill, Family Favorites<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I\u2019m very pleased with the whole process.\u00a0 Thanks so much for the extra help!

Just want to let you know I love the\u00a0Family Cookbook Project.\u00a0 I had made a recipe book for my kids several years ago….went to revamp it for grandkids and the software I used was no longer available.\u00a0 I found this and it is so much better.\u00a0 I did cookbooks for the grandkids and now my sister in law and I are making another one for the other side of the family.\u00a0 Thank you!
\n— Vicki Smith, Grandma Vicki’s Family Cookbook<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here I am with our new family cookbook! Thank you for making it possible. I am thrilled with the result, and the process was really easy. Thanks for answering my questions quickly too. I\u2019ll be telling all my friends about the experience, and recommending they use your service!
\n— Jana Watson, The Chastain Family Cookbook\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

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.
\n— Ashley Proudfit, The Hart Family Cookbook<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

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!

\n— Cindy Lake, The Henthorne Family Cookbook<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Your website was easy to use and the couple times I needed help you were very quick to respond with easy to follow instructions.\u00a0 I am not very tech savvy but\u00a0 found it easy and doable. When the cookbooks arrived this week we couldn’t have been happier with the quality!!\u00a0 Some of the pictures we included were “vintage” and the clarity and colors way exceeded our expectations!\u00a0 My mother plans to gift her cookbooks and we hope it will spark memories for those special people who will receive one!!

I gifted the cookbook to my daughter and two daughters-in-law and they were absolutely thrilled! The quality and professionalism of it amazed us all! \u00a0My daughter said, \u201cIt is one of the most wonderful gifts I have ever received!\u201d The idea to place the history behind the recipe is truly one of preserving our family heritage. Thank you for working with me to accomplish this most treasured gift. \u00a0I plan to order more in the future.
\n— Mary Artese, The Fondest Memories Are Made When We Gather Around the Table Family Cookbook<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I can\u2019t 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\u2019m 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! \u00a0Thank you so much for the beautiful cookbook and your website that helped make it possible to print my Gluten Free Christmas Cookbook. \u00a0I wrote it for my children, so they would have the tastes of home as they grow up and move out on their own. \u00a0Yet, 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.

I have attached a picture of our mother, Wanda Nicholson, with her cookbook. We presented it at her 90th birthday. It was absolutely her favorite gift of a lifetime. She is having so much fun signing the books and sending them to people.\u00a0 Thank you for the patience and amazing platform to create this family legacy for her.
\n— Rebecca Masinter, Wanda’s Kitchen<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This software was very easy (and intuitive) to use! \u00a0Anyone with basic computer and word processing skills can turn out a beautiful cookbook.

I used your website to construct a family cookbook for my son who is getting married.

Just wanted to thank you so much for having such a user-friendly site that I could use.

What a truly wonderful experience. \u00a0I have always wanted to do my own cookbook and Family Cookbook Project made it not only possible, but easy!! I am proud of the way the cover turned out.

\n— Ina Woodruff, Woodruff Family Tree Cookbook<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

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.

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.
\n–Tina Huemmer, Huemmer Family Cookbook<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.
\n–Joanette Stillman, Family Cookbook 2020<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

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.

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.
\n–Jeannie , The Wally Family Cooks <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I like being able to add recipes when it\u2019s 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\u2019re grocery shopping we can look up a recipe and make sure we have not forgot any ingredients. Don\u2019t hesitate to start your cookbook your family will be grateful for all the recipes and memories you preserved.
\n–Marty, Happy Cooking Memories!\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\n— Alison, Davis Family Cookbook\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

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!
