Home Business Idea - Creating Family Recipe Books
Were there favorite family foods of your childhood, foods your mom, grandmother, and other family members prepared and served? Do you have or use these recipes?
Then consider doing this for others and getting paid.
Why not collect them into a recipe book or scrapbook for your use and to pass along as a family legacy? Here are a variety of ideas for collecting and assemblying recipes for collection.
- These can be collected on 3 x 5 cards and put into a file.
- There are special recipe books you can purchase for acquiring family recipes.
- Have family members also write down memories associated with the recipe and add this to a recipe book.
- Collect pictures associated with special occasions when these recipes are served.
- Put the recipes on a computer disk that the bride can put on her computer and print off as she desires.
What have you done with recipes? Any other ideas or suggestions?

Once I created small three-ring photo binders of family favorites and gave them as Christmas gifts. Everyone loved them and now we all have copies of Grammy’s babka, Eileen’s peiorogis, Mom’s chicken in sour cream. Yum!
Last year, I did a family reunion dinner of a traditional Polish Easter feast and printed the menu (with whose recipe each was) on one side and a selection of family photos on the outside. People were so surprised. Some of the photos had not been seen by all before. Lots of laughs and tears. It was a great day.
So many family memories can be shared through food.

I’ve been collecting our family favorites to pass along to my kids. My daughter swears that she actually wants to “learn to cook” this summer…she’s starting to run out of time till home is just a memory :-)
