A unique wedding favor

A personalized cookbook can be used as a special gift to your wedding guests. You can customize this so it is unique to those connected with the wedding.

Where to get recipes

Of course, get any favorite recipes that the groom and bride enjoy. Then collect any recipes you can from family and friends of the bride. A wedding shower is a good opportunity to have friends of the bride bring recipes.

What to put in your book

Besides recipes that are unique, add an intro to the book about the couple or even a poem. Have a picture of the couple on the front cover. Maybe have them pose in the kitchen with aprons, etc. The finished cookbooks can be individually wrapped with a ribbon and a card.

This can all be done with The Cookbook Company of course. All the recipes can be entered online and all the things mentioned above can be added to your cookbook as well.

It’s Family Reunion time. This is the time of year that we see a lot of people making family cookbooks for their reunions coming up.

Family reunions are a popular time for cookbooks. A family cookbook is a great family keepsake for this event. Gather recipes from family members to make your personalized cookbook. Put a family picture on the front. If your family reunion is an annual event you no doubt have pictures from previous reunions and you can use one of these pictures to put on the front and maybe additional pictures for the inside of your book as well.

Remember, there is no charge to enter your recipes online.

Making a homemade cookbook can be fun. What I have noticed while searching around the web is there a couple of ways to go about this. For example I did read this article at EHow article on making homemade cookbook that went into detail on how you can make your own cookbook on your own printer and talks about scanning your pictures, etc. But sometimes companies such as ours The Cookbook Company can be the easier way to go.

What cookbook publishing companies do is usually make it so that you just give them the recipes usually by filling online forms. All these companies want is just the text of the recipes. You don’t have to worry about formatting into two columns etc. They will take care of all of this for you.

Also such companies usually let more than one person enter recipes so that the burden doesn’t just fall on you.

You can usually always add some personal notes to your cookbook as well.

Another major factor with working with a cookbook publisher is cost. The prices are extremely reasonable and more than likely less expensive than if you were to do it yourself.

Many companies have low minimums for handmade cookbooks as well. At The Cookbook Company for example our minimum is only 25.

Hope this helps with your cookbook project.
