custom cookbooks;
we do the work!

Design and stock library are all-inclusive in the book price.
You’ll be pleasantly surprised by our prices—no upfront costs.
Include unlimited personal images and stories to create a beautifully crafted, bookstore-quality cookbook that your community will cherish for years to come. We show those wanting to create a fundraiser, how to raise most, if not all, of the funds prior to print.

How it works

  • Request recipes

    STEP 1. No upfront costs. We set up your unique custom link to share with your community. To commence the full design layout, we require a small deposit, which is deducted from the final invoice for printed books.

  • Pre-orders

    Asking your community to pre-order copies of the cookbook will help towards the cost of printing. Use the pre-order template & profit calculator available in your dashboard.

  • Sponsors

    While optional, think about asking local businesses to sponsor your cookbook. A variety of templates and ways to feature sponsors are located in your dashboard.

  • Editing recipes

    STEP 2. While we don’t offer a proofreading service, you can invite helpers inside your dashboard to help edit recipes getting them ready for our designer to do the first stage layout.

  • Layout stage

    STEP 3. Submit the do my placing form via your panel navigator. Read the how it works for full details about layout stage.

  • Full design

    Our designer shows you how to upload additional images and text etc. so they can complete your design.

  • Final design check

    Once complete, a flipbook is generated in your dashboard. You and your helpers can make any final tweaks before placing your order inside your dashboard for printed books. Then it’s over to us to do a full design check.

  • Meet the professionals

    Our team of graphic designers and excellent customer service. We aim to help you have the best experience in achieving your fundraising goals.
