Create a Cookbook
I was with Katie at Book Group last night (neither of us had read the book…), and we got to talking about food – surprise!
We ended up talking about all of our favorite recipes: Katie’s Mom’s Clam Chowder, Lynne’s “Great-Grandmother’s” Italian Peasant Soup, our friend Marilyn’s Delta Shrimp, our friend Lisa’s Crockpot Ground Turkey 3 Bean Soup, etc. I told them all about this cool website that my cousin Betteanne sent to me -- http://www.tastebook.com/.
Check it out – you create a hardcover, spiral-bound cookbook of your favorite recipes that you can then order. You either type in new recipes or import from other websites. It's a great, easy way to organize your recipes.
I’ve created a cookbook citing Katie, Lynne, Marilyn, Lisa and others as sources and am thinking of creating one with all my mom’s old recipes as a gift for my sisters. Let me know and I can send you the link to my cookbook if you’re interested.

This is so cool!
ReplyDeleteLooks wonderful. A few years ago, my sister-in -law put together a cookbook for her parents. Her mother was the youngest of 10, who's own mother has died while she was a young adult. Kelly sent letters to everyone in the family asking for a recipe, a story that goes with it and a picture if they had one. She put it all together in a scrap book for my -in-laws and then made copies for all of us. It is very fun some old family recipes and some new ones. I've always thought it would be great to do for Mom and Dad. I've just never got my act together. This might be a way to do it.
ReplyDeleteThis is something I am going to do. I have this old recipe box filled with all of my mother's recipe cards and although I will keep that I am going to make a book to give to my sister and brother. What a great idea and it seems fairly easy to maneuver. Thanks!
