Frequently Asked Questions about Holiday Submissions: 

Q: I haven’t started yet. Is it too late?

A: As long as you keep your project a realistic size and get started right away, you will have your book in time! If you are concerned, call or email us. Smaller books process faster, so consider a cookbook with 60 to 150 recipes for a fast turnaround.

Q: What if my family holiday party is in early December?

A: No worries! Consider gifting a bookmark in a holiday card, letting family and friends know their book will arrive at the holidays! This also works for belated orders submitted after the deadline!

Q: Is it hard to put a cookbook together?

A: Not at all! Set up a FREE/No Obligation web account on our site and enter a few recipes to see how easy it is. You can check out our video on how to Create a Cookbook Account.  Reach out to us with any questions. We are happy to help!

Q: How many books do I have to order?

A: Our minimum order is 24 books. If that seems like a lot, consider making a list of everyone who would like a copy of your book. You may find you need more copies than you think. 

Q: Can I use recipes from the cookbooks in my cupboard? 

A: Individual recipes are not copyrightable, so using your favorite recipes and including any changes you make is fine.

Q: Do people still use cookbooks? 

A: YES! Cookbooks are used by people of all ages, and custom cookbooks created by a loved one or friend is a treasured source for recipes that they will keep for years to come.
