How it works

  • Request recipes

    STEP 1. Sign up and select the community package at $99 that’s refunded when you place your order or decide not to go ahead before full design stage, making the package free of charge. Submit recipes via our website or feature the unique link and QR code in your newsletter.

  • 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. Select a template and submit the do my placing form via your dashboard. A skeleton layout of your book is created based on your selection.

  • 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 are always available to chat online, via email or by phone. Our aim is to help make sure your needs are met and that you have the best experience achieving your fundraising goals.
