What makes our heirloom family recipe books special is not just the recipes themselves, but the visual reminders contained within your scans.

Add to this some family photos and annotations and you have a personalized and meaningful compilation for all the family to continue your cooking traditions through the generations.

Why choose a service like EverPresent over DIY?
“I just want to tell you that I just picked up the books and am overwhelmed at how truly beautiful they are. They are works of art and I can’t thank you enough for all the amazing work you did to make them possible.” – Lois W.R.
Lois’s book was highlighted in the Wall Street Journal feature article. It was a Christmas gift for her sons made up of their family recipes. She didn’t want to add any photos, aside from the one featured on the cover. Since it contained older recipes, we kept the look simple and clean. She included meaningful newspaper clippings from her mother, to capture her spirit along with her recipes for her grandchildren.

Cookbooks are not one size fits all:
Scanned recipe books
Recipe books built entirely from your collection of scanned recipe cards and clippings include the recipe cards in their original form, rips, stains and all. If you like, include family photos — particularly those featuring cooking or breaking bread together! Your designer will discuss additional personalization touches with you to make it truly one-of-a-kind.
Typeset cookbooks
If you want to turn your family recipe cards into a fresh new cookbook, you can work with our designers on transcribing the recipe cards into text and using the scanned cards and photos as accents. We will standardize the typesetting of all of your recipes from different sources for consistency and professional polish.
Recipe “Scrapbook” Remake
Oftentimes family recipes are already contained within a book that’s now too fragile to be referenced in the kitchen. We’ll scan the full pages into a sturdy, revitalized cookbook for the entire extended family to share.
