You’ve done it. You have collected your recipes, got others to contribute their recipes, picked a cover and recipe layouts and used Family Cookbook Project.com to publish your very own cookbook.

Now what?

The good news is just because you publish your first cookbook doesn’t mean that you have to be done.

Here are some ideas on how to continue using your Family Cookbook Project.com account

Online recipe box – Many people find that they continue adding new recipes to their account even after publishing and printing their personal cookbook. It’s easy to add recipes and it’s convenient to have them all in one place.

Use the mobile app – Access to your online recipes is only a few clicks away with the award-winning Family Cookbook Project mobile app for both Apple iPhones and android devices.

Print a second volume for your family cookbook – Oftentimes once a book is printed new people see its value and want to contribute recipes. Creating a second volume for your family cookbook is a great way to get additional people involved and to keep the project alive.

Create a Best of cookbook – Our family cookbook has over 250 recipes but I personally have about 50 that I like cooking all the time. I created a separate cookbook just for my go to recipes which allows me to find what I’m looking for so much quicker. I printed one copy and kept it right in the kitchen where I could find it quickly.

Create a personal cookbook – If you have created a family cookbook, you were allowed only to include so many of your recipes in order to give everyone a chance to participate. Consider creating a cookbook with just your recipes which will allow you to enter many more then or in the family cookbook.

Contribute to someone else’s family cookbook – Share your cookbook with friends and family and let them know you created at FamilyCookbookProject.com and when they ask you to contribute recipes to their cookbook, you can use the handy recipe transfer tool and select which recipes you want to contribute without having to type any of them in a second time!

Create a fundraising cookbook – Does your church ,school, scout troop or community organization need to raise funds? Suggest a fundraising cookbook and use our system to manage the recipes. Our CookbookFundraiser.com site uses much of the same programming you used and can be a great help to your community group.
