I just found out that one of my sister-in law's families has a family cookbook. My niece just turned 19 and was gifted one. What!? How come my family doesn't have a family cookbook? Oh... cause I'm the only girl and I haven't put one together yet. Sigh. New project! But it will be a fun one and a good one to pass down to my kids and my brother's kids.
I'm thinking of not only putting in recipes but stories and pictures too. Hmmm... who knew my first "published" work would be a cook book. I wish I would have realized to do this when my grandmother's were alive. I hope my mom is able to share some of their recipes. I remember Norwegian things from my mom's mom and wonderful potato pancakes from my dad's mom (German ancestry). Both sets of my Grandparent's parents immigrated to the USA so I hope there are some recipes that go back to their "motherlands".
I guess while I'm at it I should get with my mother-in-law and my husband's sister and work on a Lewis family cookbook too. Ohhh for more time in the day.
Have any of you put out a family cookbook? What did you include and who did you "publish" it through? How much did it cost?
I imagine that a Schuh family cookbook would look similar to this.
