Book Reviews of Creating an Heirloom: Writing Your Family's Cookbook
Book Review: I wish I'd seen this book before we developed our software
Summary: 5 Stars
Matilda's Fantastic Cookbook Software 3.2
I'm one of the developers for Matilda's Fantastic Cookbook Software. I only discovered this book after we'd built our software, but I wish I'd seen it beforehand. It's so full of ideas on how to make a family cookbook more than just a list of recipes. We came to many of the same conclusions the author did on our own, but reading her book first would've sure saved us some time.
Whether you use a software package like ours to make a cookbook, or just go with a simple 3 ring binder and some hand-scrawled pages, or anywhere in between, I really recommend picking up this book and using it as a companion.
I guess you could say I'm an "expert" in the small field of helping people make their own family cookbooks. From my research, there really isn't a better book out there for helping you get your book done.
