Good going Laura. I tried to get my family and friends to give me their recipes so I could do the same thing. Quite an uncooperative bunch they are
Said I was the only one with decent recipes.
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

Good for you! I started a similar project for my own kids a few years back and lost it becuase the Microsoft Word file got corrupted...
My idea is to make a collection of recipes my children grew up with. I've had the two adult children call to find out how I made something in particular because their attempt didn't taste like what they remembered.
Lately, I've been adding things to MC - which is backed up off site along with our financial records - and will get to that project again sometime

Good for you, Laura! What a wonderful gift to give your family. I did a small version of this for my daughters when they were getting married and would frequently ask for a recipe. I say small version because I just put in in Mastercook, then made a copy of our family cookbook for them to put on their own computers, but never had it printed. I would like to expand on that some day and maybe even have it printed like you are doing. Thanks for the suggestion and the link.

Laura,
I have been looking for the same for the last 5 months! I offer cooking classes in Buenos Aires, Argentina of Latin American cuisine and now I want to put all those recipes on a book but I am not sure how. I will take your advice and explore the possibilities.
If you have any other advice, I will appreciate it! I will see your book right now.
Thanks
