Six steps from a drawer of recipe cards to a printed, bound cookbook. Designing it is free, and you can do it in an evening.
Paperback from €19.95, hardcover from €26.90. Shipping €4.95 within the EU.
Start with the dishes people ask for: the ones that come back every holiday and the ones only one person knows how to make. Look in the usual places: index cards in a drawer, a notebook with stained pages, screenshots, bookmarks and messages from family.
A printed book needs at least 30 pages, and blank pages count too, so a handful of recipes is enough to start.
Take a photo of each card or notebook page, several photos if a recipe runs over. We read the handwriting and copy exactly what's written into a clean recipe, with the ingredients and steps in order. Check it and correct anything before you save it.
Some recipes only live in someone's head. Ask them to tell it out loud, the way they would in the kitchen, and we write it up with ingredients and steps. You can also type a recipe in a simple form, or add the ones you saved in the CookNest app.
Group the recipes into up to seven named sections, like Starters, Mains and Desserts, or one for each grandparent. Put the cook's name under each recipe and add lined blank pages at the back for the recipes still to come.
Each design sets the cover, the type and every recipe page. Then choose a title and your cover photos and write a dedication.
Leaf through every page before you order and download the PDF. When it looks right, we print it in full color, bind it and send it to your home, usually in 9 to 12 business days. We ship to every country in the European Union.
Paperbacks start at €19.95 with 30 recipes included and hardcovers at €26.90. Shipping is €4.95.
Every step above happens in one place, in your browser or in the CookNest Books app. Designing is free: you only pay when you order a printed copy.
