Why teams make one

A team cookbook is a book of recipes from the people you work with: the dish someone brings to every office party, the lunch everyone asks about, the recipes from home that say where people come from. One person sets it up and shares a link, and everyone adds a recipe, a note and a photo in about five minutes, with no account. Print one for the office, give a copy to everyone at Christmas, or send it to clients.

Team building people enjoy
Everyone has a recipe that means something to them. Sharing it is easier than an icebreaker and far more memorable.
A gift with your people in it
For staff at Christmas or clients at the end of a project, a book made by your team says more than a hamper.
Easy for one person to run
Send one link, see whose recipes are in and who you're still waiting for, then approve the proof. That's the whole job.

    Common questions

    How does a team cookbook work?

    One person sets it up and shares a link. Everyone adds a recipe, a note and optionally a photo - no account needed, about five minutes each. You can see whose recipes are in and who you are still waiting for, then you approve the proof and it is printed.

    Can we order copies for the whole team or for clients?

    Yes. Plenty of people order several, and the per-book price comes down the more you order. You approve one proof and every copy is printed from it. You can also reorder later, or share a private link so family and friends can order their own copy.

    What about people who do not cook?

    They contribute what they really eat - the takeaway order, the sandwich they have had every day for five years, the family recipe they have never made themselves. Those are often the pages people read first.

    How long does it take?

    Work back from the date: most organisers give contributors 2-4 weeks, and printing and delivery take 7-10 working days once you approve the layout. About six weeks is comfortable; less is possible if people reply quickly.
