Family Cookbook Builder. Printable System To Collect Family Recipes And Make A Book

$24.00

Full Description

A complete printable system for collecting your family's recipes from the people who still cook them, and turning what comes back into a finished cookbook you can print, bind and hand out.

Most people start this project and stall in the same two places: they don't know how to ask without feeling like a nuisance, and they don't know what a finished page should look like. This solves both.

WHAT YOU GET — 20 PAGES

  • A six-step method with a realistic timeline, six weeks, most of it waiting
  • The Ask List, to name the person and name the dish before you contact anyone
  • Four ready-to-send scripts: first ask by text, first ask by email, the ten-day follow-up, and the last call
  • A reply tracker with columns for asked, chased, have, done
  • An intake page to capture each recipe exactly as it arrives
  • A translation table turning "a knob of butter," "a teacup," "moderate oven" and "bake till done" into real measures
  • A test log for three attempts per dish
  • Nine book layouts: title page, dedication, contents, section divider, recipe page, photo recipe, contributors, story page, index
  • Pages on leaving room for next year, production specs, and terms

PRINTING

US Letter, 8.5 x 11 inches. Print at 100 percent, actual size. The worksheets are made to be printed and written on. The layout pages are references you can rebuild in Canva, Word, Pages or Google Docs. Fonts are embedded, so the files look the same on your screen, your printer and at a print shop.

HOW IT ARRIVES

Instant download. Two PDFs, delivered by email the moment you check out. Nothing shipped, nothing to install.

TERMS

For personal use. Print as many copies as you like for yourself or as a gift, and print and give away copies of the cookbook you build. Please don't resell, share or redistribute these files. All sales are final on digital downloads — message me if a file won't open and I'll fix it.
