Whether you are looking for a great gift idea or ensuring that foods you grew up with are enjoyed by future generations, a family cookbook can be a present with a future.

Once a labor-intensive task, now families are using the Internet to simplify the project. A Web site can provide step-by-step instructions and tools to help the family member serving as cookbook editor to contact others and encourage them to enter their favorite recipes directly online.

The editor then simply reviews and edits the recipes, selects printing options, and sends the cookbook to be printed. The printed cookbooks are received in a few weeks.

FamilyCookbookProject.com, winner of the 2005 Best Family Website WebAward, is one site that helps collect an assortment of recipes into a beautifully bound heirloom that can be useful in the kitchen or given as a gift.

A food treasure can be lost forever with each passing of a family member. Therefore, many families are working together and creating cookbooks to collect and preserve mealtime treasures.
