Family Cookbook Ideas

I want to tell you about a great idea that another friend recently shared with me – making a Family Cookbook. Now I’m sure most of you are familiar with the concept of creating your own printed photo albums.There are plenty of websites out there that you can employ to help you, and most of the time it’s just a matter of submitting your photos, choosing your layout and then waiting for them to send out to your home your professional looking photo album.

Well this is basically the idea behind the Family Cookbook. But instead of sending photos, you scan in all those favourite family recipes that you have on bits of paper lying around – including some photos of the actual results as well if you’d like - and turn them into a beautifully printed book that you can give to your family members to treasure forever.

My friend did this with her mother’s recipes, prior to her mother passing away from breast cancer last year. She had such wonderful memories of all the lovely food her mother used to make, so she wanted to be able to always access these recipes – not only for her but for her brothers and sisters, to enjoy now and pass down to future generations. Such a wonderful idea and a lovely way to keep the memory of her mother alive.

 Winkflashis the company she used to create the amazing published book of her mothers recipes and would highly recommend to check it out althought there are many sites now including snapfish and even BigW that do the same job.
