Create a Winter Cookbook from Recipes Collected in Summer
Collecting recipes is easy when food is involved. We have easy suggestions to get your recipe collection ready to create a cookbook. With fast, easy recipe submission, you could have your books in hand for the winter season.
Collect Recipes Where Food is Found
Gatherings with potlucks are the perfect place to collect recipes. Our favorite collection ideas include:
- Have people bring a recipe card with their dish.
- Send a recipe collection form with your invite.
- Invite people to bring a copy of their favorite recipe and snap a photo of it.
- Make it fun with a contest. Have a drawing for a fun prize. One entry per recipe.
Make Recipe Collection Easy
Providing resources to collect recipes is a great way to encourage participation. Having recipe forms available makes it easy for those who like pen and paper to submit. For other people, the ability to show you the recipe so you can take a photo of it or text/email you a photo of the recipe will encourage them to submit one or more.
Turning a Recipe Collection into a Cookbook
Have file folders labeled with category names to put paper recipes into. Label albums on your phone with category names and sort recipes into categories as you take photos. Some groups and families may find it very easy to have someone bring a laptop and type recipes into a FREE, no obligation web account as soon as they are submitted. Learn more about typing recipes into a free web account with our YouTube tutorial.
For cookbook projects with an order of 100 books or more, we can type your recipes for free. Follow our easy guidelines to sort and submit them.
