Flowers last a week. A personalized cookbook that lasts a lifetime. Gather her favorite recipes, the dishes she's cooked a thousand times and heartfelt notes from everyone who loves her. A professionally bound book that she'll reach for every time she steps into the kitchen.
Why it makes the perfect gift
Her recipes, finally written down
All those dishes she makes from memory that no one can quite replicate. Captured for the first time, with notes from the people who grew up eating them.
Messages from everyone who matters
Contributors add a personal note alongside their recipe, turning the cookbook into a keepsake filled with stories behind each dish.
A keepsake she'll actually use
Unlike a card that gets tucked away this one lives on the kitchen shelf and gets picked up each time she cooks.

Cover design inspiration
A few directions a cover can take. Every book starts from a professionally designed template, and the colors, fonts and layout are all yours to change.
Common questions
When do I need to order for Mother's Day?
- Work back from the date: most organizers 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.
What if I do not have many of her recipes written down?
- That is usually the reason to make the book. Ask her to talk you through two or three while you write, and invite everyone else to add the ones they remember - between you the collection builds quickly.
Can brothers, sisters and grandchildren all contribute?
- Everyone gets their own link. They add a recipe, a note about why it matters and optionally a photo - no account needed, and it takes about five minutes. You can also add recipes on behalf of anyone who would rather not.
Can I include her handwritten recipe cards?
- Yes, and they are often the best pages in the book. Photograph the original card and it can sit alongside the typed-up version, so you get a recipe you can cook from and the handwriting of the person who wrote it.
"Each recipe is meaningful and from someone close to us. The personal notes and stories associated with each recipe made it really special."
- Daniel
