Make Your Own Cookbook - How Cool Is This?

Thursday September 11, 2008
TasteBookDo you like cookbooks? I do too, but I get tired of paging through all of them to find the recipes that I use the most. I guess I could just cut them out and paste them in a notebook, but who wants to ruin a perfectly good cookbook?

Today I found a site that takes care of that problem. At TasteBook you can create your own personalized cookbook.

You design your cover, choose recipes (they have thousands to choose from - or add your own) and in a few days you will receive your personalized cookbooks for about $20.00 each.

How about this for a great gift idea? Make a cookbook with your favorite healthy recipes to give to family and friends. How do you know when a recipe is healthy? Check out the ingredients and cooking methods or browse through the ready-made healthy cookbooks available on Tastebook.

I’ve done about three of these so far. Daughters and I came up with our favorite family recipes and did a book. It takes a while to type them in, but once I ordered the books came in just a few days.
