What Our Cookbook Editors Say About Recipe Card Cookbook!

"I always wanted to say thank you for creating such a great website. My mother passed away several years ago, and we were all at a loss as to what to do with her recipes. As there are 9 children, we each wanted copies of some of the greats in her recipe box. We came across your site and knew that it was going to be the perfect answer. We have had a lot of fun going through the recipe box and adding in some of food memories from our childhood, as well as some that we really don't know why she kept - but have added in for nostalgia reasons. We are finally getting close to being able to order the book and I can't wait to see the results. Thank you again for providing us with a platform to capture memories of an amazing lady."
--Linda Manchester, A Taste of Home

"Oh My Goodness!! Wow! Wow! Wow!! I got my cookbooks today and they are awesome!! I thought they might be really cool but they were beyond my expectations! Thank you for all your help and your awesome, easy to use website. I am thrilled!"
--Judy Bevelle, Mom's Favorite Recipes

"My entire recipe box is now entered in my family cookbook and I don't have to look for hours just to find a recipe any more."
– Denise Wyer, Donovan Family Cookbook

"No question, I am so very happy with our cookbook. This was my mother’s dream to make her own cookbook. Unfortunately she passed away before she could work on it very much. I finished it for her. So now all her children and grandchildren will have a copy. It’s beautiful, easy to do. Thank you for developing this. I’m telling all my recipe loving friends."
--April Weldy, Memories

"I recently got my cookbook printed and am overjoyed at the results. I had ordered just 6 and gave them to special family members and kept 1 for myself. Everyone was extremely delighted at receiving such a special gift that featured my Mother's recipes. Thank you for helping me created this lovely book."
--Susan Green, Susie's Family Cookbook

"I received my cookbooks yesterday and I can't even begin to tell you how pleased I am! This was a compilation of my mom's recipes that she's collected over the years and Christmas cannot get here fast enough so I can see her reaction! To see her recipes printed and bound in such a professional manner was wonderful! The process was simple and you were so prompt in answering my questions along the way. THANK YOU and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!"
--Leigh Anne Norman, Hazel's Recipe Collection

"I've never done anything like this before and I'm nervous and excited about it! Your website was great, and I think we've made a really good cookbook! I'll probably be doing one with my husband's family next!"
--Sally Walker, Grandma's Family Recipes

"Thank you again for all your help. I guess you can tell I'm computer-challenged, but your web-site made it possible for me to do something I've been wanting to do for years!! I'm excited that it's finally finished!"
--Marilyn Locicero, NOW YOU'RE COOKING ---AGAIN!

"I love your program! I have other cookbook programs, but this is where I save my treasured family recipes. Your program is stable and I can always count on it to work properly. It also makes it very easy to share recipes with family and friends. Great work!"
--Gail Beutler, From Gail's Kitchen

"Let me tell you how great this program is. I was able to scrounge together recipes that have been together in my family for 200 years or more. By publishing this cook book, A Real Southern Comfort, you helped me preserve a great piece of family history. This cook book saved a lot of what my family was made up of. In this day and time of fast foods and microwave cooking it would be easy to let all this family history slide by and be forgotten. But not now, not anymore. We have sealed up it's place for generations to come. It is written and will continue for eons to go. This is no small matter. Thank you for all you have done."
--Mike Wallace, A Real Southern Comfort

"The 5 cookbooks I ordered arrived today!! All I can say is: WOW!!! I’m so impressed how it turned out. My prayer is that my adult daughters will love and treasure it! Thanks again— and thanks for putting up with all my calls and emails! It’s rare to get such gracious, efficient service these days. I commend you and your endeavors. Best wishes for Happy Holidays and a prosperous New Year!!"
--Glenda W., GRANDMA AND ME AND YOU

"Dear Friends. It's the old guy again. My two daughters and I waited yesterday evening because we knew our first book was out for delivery. It was near 7pm when the UPS truck came. We opened a box to view the books and we were overwhelmed with their beauty. We actually cried to see how great they were. Our own new and very old recipes in a beautiful book. Your software is so nice and you are so great in answering questions that an 86 year old guy like me could use the program. These are going to be our Christmas presents for our family and friends, how great is that? Merry Christmas you you and your families."
--Lloyd Cyr, The Cyr Family Favorites

"I received my cookbooks several weeks ago. Not only am I extremely pleased with the published book but everyone that I have given one to has been thrilled. The cookbook looks very professional and your software made it very easy to create. Thank you."
--June Ledet, Favorite Family Recipes of the Ledets and Blocks

"This has been a very good experience for me. My order is a very small, humble one, but please know how very important it is for my family. My mom passed away a few months ago and the 2 year anniversary of my dad's death is next week. They were married for over 60 years. I feel their absence most acutely. However, my mom was a wonderful cook, and working on this project has really helped me feel closer to her. And my older son is really following in her footsteps. At 26, he is already becoming a very good cook. This cookbook is really for him and me. So, although the project is a small one for you, it is a very big one for us. It has already made a profound impact on my life, one that I know will only be increased as he and I begin using the cookbook to make my mom's long lost recipes. Thank you from the bottom of my heart."
--Barbara Pauly, In the Kitchen with Nana

"Writing this little cookbook has been one of the most positive experiences of my life and it was made possible by the Cookbook Project and their OUTSTANDING CUSTOMER SERVICE team. Chip worked with me - and kept working with me - until the proof was off to be printed. He NEVER complained or even acted agitated as we worked together on every detail of this beautiful little cookbook that is certain to be a treasured heirloom in our family for many, many years. This company is first class, and I would not ever hesitate to recommend them to anyone planning to do their own projects. I will certainly use them again and highly recommend you give them a try as well. I can say with much certainty, you will love them and their beautiful work."
--Donna Couch, Editor, OUR FIRST MESS

"I have never been more satisfied with a product or a service in my life. This Cookbook Project program was a true miracle. For years I had been collecting recipes on my computer from the last 6 generations of my family's history. I was amazed at how I could just add a recipe and the program would, place it, index it, and adjust page numbers for it. All I had to do was plug in my recipes. I did this for my family for a heritage treasure. I could not be more pleased with their reaction. They were amazed. Thank you so much for this program, product, instruction, and help when I had a problem. You guys treated me so good that I tell everyone about your program. Thank you so much!!!"
--Mark King, The King Family's Very, Very Secret Recipes

"I received my cook books. I just love them. Thank you so much for the software and the printing. I can't wait to start on the next one."
--Diana Murphy, Family Collection of Recipes

"I have to tell you what pleasure we had creating our cookbook, as a tribute to our recently departed mother. We had some great laughs and giggles during the process of walking down memory lane through each recipe..... as well as a few tears. This whole project was nothing but joy for us.
    Your website was so clearly laid out and easily understood....and if you only knew how inept my sister and I are at all things technological, you would then realize what an amazing website you have!
    And to top it all off .... we knew you were ever present with us on this journey...someone we could turn to for answers and advice..... and actually receive that guidance within a few hours. (Hmmmmm....kind of sounds like another big man I often turn to for guidance......)
    Anyhow......thank you so much! We are already starting to plan our NEXT culinary cookbook!"
--Valerie Nathanson, The Delcy Myers Cookbook

"RECEIVED!! Just wanted to say, I love, love, love it!!! It turned out just beautiful. Overall, I am extremely pleased. Out of the 300 ordered, 200 have been sold, so I'm sure we will need to order more sometime in the future."
--Linda Mallory, Favorite Recipes From WARDELL Party Home

"We all love our cookbooks. One of my granddaughters (8 years old) literally wrapped her arms around it and wouldn't turn loose. She just kept saying how much she loved it!"
--Mickey George, Mother always said: "This is a one-rump kitchen."

"I just want to say a big Thank You for my cookbooks. They look sooo Great! Your family cookbook project site made my long time dream of writing my own cookbook come true. Everyone is so impressed when they see it and are full of questions on how I did it. I tell them how easy it was by using the Family Cookbook Project! Again, Thank you sooo much!!!!"
--Carolyn Peddicord, Cowbell in the Kitchen

Thank you so much for making this a special family project we can all be proud of."
--Nanci Bushner, Our Amazing Family Cookbook 2014 Edition

"I have never written a testimonial for a computer program so this will be my first! I can't say enough how wonderful this program is, and how easy it is to use. I started with what I thought was going to be a "small" project. Once I got started, I found it so easy to use, that I expanded the project to include my whole family, including four generations and over 700 recipes. The book is truly wonderful and I appreciate the ease of the program, and the wonderful support from you when I needed to have a question answered. Thanks to this program, our generations of favorite family recipes are in print forever. I will recommend it to everyone. Thanks again for your wonderful program."

It feels kind of astonishing to be published with such ease. Thanks so much!"

"When I went to visit my Grandmother she would make the most delicious special recipes, she never wrote them down they were all in her head. If we watched we would see how she made things but we never thought she wouldn't one day be with us.

When I was was growing up as a child I lived both in Ireland and in Milltown, New Jersey. My mother loved to cook interesting meals and encouraged all of us to have the same interest in food that my parents did.

Food is, in an Irish Family very important, as it is in many ethnic families an expression of heritage and customs. Food nourishes and comforts, it is part of any celebration and we remember the beautiful presentation the unusual and the taste. Growing up among siblings in our family, the competition was huge. We all love to cook and when we entertain each other we try to raise the bar and add something new to the table. To us cooking for someone is the ultimate in honoring them. As I grew up I dabbled with making cakes for special for friends and family, I have made Wedding cakes, I had a chocolate business making home made chocolates, I have given cooking classes in my home. I love to cook for people and share what I have learned. My Grandmother took the recipes she made with her when she died. My mother didn't always give out her secret recipes often leaving out one ingredient. Mom now does not remember the wonderful things she used to cook and now lives in Ireland in a Senior Center there .

I would like for the recipes I have enjoyed from my mother and the receipts I have developed to live on after I am gone so others can enjoy them. Many happy hours have been spent cooking in my kitchens and I have enjoyed sharing what I have learned with anyone that wanted to come to my classes and dinner parties. Creating an wonderful evening all starts with the table dressing, the details, china and glassware. To me when I have special guests I do not serve them on paper plates or plastic, I honor them with special table dressings and create the atmosphere of what is to come. In a world of instant everything time is very important. What better complement can we give to our family and friends but show them how special they are by taking the time to make what we prepare for them special.

I am putting this book together for my Children, for the memory of my grandmother for my mother who shared the love of cooking with me, for the Nuns in Christ our King school and Sacred Heart School for Girls who allowed me to experiment, and for my dear friends who have encouraged me to put a Cook book together so they can share my recipes with their friends and family."
--Christine Sullivan-Reitz, Tina's Guide to Fabulous Food and The Dining Experience

Family Cookbook Project note: It is heart warming that we are able to save and share your treasured recipes with your family. What a great story - and we bet most of our family cookbook customers feel the same way about food, family and sharing. Thank you!

"I just wanted to say thank you for your website in helping me publish a cookbook for my wedding. Everything went really well and all my guests were thrilled to get a cookbook.

     Thank you so much for all your help over the past few days. I will definitely tell everyone I know to check out the Family Cookbook Project website. I found it amazingly easy to use, once I overcame my operator error :-)
     Enjoy the cookies. Sorry there is no trophy for best customer service of the day, but you could walk around with chocolate on your lips all day and tell everyone that you earned the Wilson Customer Service Award - they will be very jealous, I'm sure!"
--Kathy Wilson, Wilson Cookbook

Family Cookbook Project note: the cookies were awesome!

--Connie Roller, Food, Family & Friends

As you know, I was quite anxious about signing off on the internet printing without something physical in front of me. But, I'm very pleased with how they came out. The picture quality is very good--although I wish I'd made the pictures on the front of the dividers bigger. I'll be presenting them at our family reunion that will be this Thanksgiving.

--Karen Bittner - Olinda Victoria Australia Cookbook.


"I just received our cookbooks and I must tell you I am so very happy with them. They are beautiful. It is a bittersweet happiness, since we lost our matriarch three hours after I submitted the cookbook for printing. You were good enough to allow me to put in a dedication page in after I submitted it. This was the easiest project I have ever done. The end product is wonderful. I am now looking for members of our other families to start another one. Again, thank you for your kindness, patience and your great site. What a wonderful way to immortalize your family recipes and history. "

--Gail New, Gail's Kitchen Cookbook Vol.1


"I have to again say, I am so excited about your cookbook program! I have been looking for at about 5 years for software to purchase or use that would allow me to do a project such as this for my own family. Because I use computers on a day to day basis, I know the possibilities, and yet your program is the only one that provides all the opportunities I had in mind. Thank you for making my personal dream come true! I have a very long way to go before I can finish what I have started, but it certainly looks do-able at this point. I told my sister about my project and got her excited as well. She too is seriously considering the same."
--Elaine Dacke


"LOVE the cookbook!! My dad gave it to me for Christmas. I saw some great recipes I'll be making for New Year's and saw some I was haunted with as a child-Mince-dad loved it so much we ate it at least twice a week. Maybe I'll have something to add to the next book. Thanks for all your hard work."
--Jennifer and Family

"I have to say that the more I worked with our family recipes on your website, and noticed the "personal notes" - that's when I realized all of our family stories could come into play. It's a wonderful way to document family traditions in the kitchen. The one "down side" if you could even characterize it that way is that many family members, once seeing the cookbook, mentioned to me they didn't really know it was going to be as great as it is. They didn't realize I was looking for each individual's favorite recipes and any stories that go along with it. I guess that's part of the learning curve when taking on a project like that. Many family members want to add more recipes."
--DeeDee Duffy, DiSalvatore Family Cookbook
