Creating a Family Recipe Book is a wonderful way to preserve cherished culinary traditions and share them with future generations. It’s a project filled with love, memories, and delicious food. If you’re thinking about compiling your own family cookbook, you likely have some questions about how to get started and what’s involved. This guide addresses common queries to help you smoothly create a treasured family heirloom.
Activating Your Cookbook Kit

For detailed instructions, you can easily Check out this Help Center article. This will walk you through each step to ensure your kit is up and running in no time.
Handling Extra Pages in Your Family Recipe Book
Family recipes often come with stories, variations, and maybe even a few spills documented on the original pages! If your collection expands beyond the page count included in your initial kit, don’t worry. Adding more pages to your family recipe book is easily manageable. When you’re ready to finalize your order, you can simply pay for the additional pages needed to accommodate all your treasured recipes.
Upgrading Paper Quality for Your Cookbook
The quality of paper enhances the overall feel and longevity of your family recipe book. If you envision a more premium touch for your heirloom, upgrading the paper is an option. Similar to adding extra pages, you can choose to upgrade the paper stock when you place your final cookbook order. You’ll just cover the price difference to achieve the paper quality that best suits your vision for your family recipe book.
Ordering Multiple Copies of Your Family Cookbook
Imagine gifting personalized family recipe books to all your loved ones! Once you’ve created your masterpiece, ordering extra copies is straightforward. Whether you want to share it with siblings, children, or friends, you can order as many copies of your family cookbook as you desire. You even have the flexibility to choose different binding styles for these additional copies. Explore the pricing calculator to see the options and plan your perfect distribution.
Expanding Recipe Typing Services
Sometimes, the handwritten charm of family recipes needs a digital touch for clarity and preservation. If you find you need more recipes professionally typed than initially included in your kit’s WeTypeIt credits, you’re in luck. You can easily purchase additional WeTypeIt credits at any time. Of course, you always have the option to type recipes yourself, or even involve other family members in contributing their own recipes directly to the family recipe book project!
Choosing Different Binding Styles for Your Recipe Book
The binding style is a key element in the presentation and usability of your family recipe book. The good news is that regardless of the kit you initially choose, you have the freedom to select a different binding style. If you decide you’d prefer a lay-flat binding or a different aesthetic, you can easily upgrade to any of the available personal binding styles by paying the difference when you place your order. This ensures your family recipe book is bound to perfection.

Adding Family Photos to Your Cookbook
To truly personalize your family recipe book and make it even more heartwarming, adding family photos is highly recommended. Images of family gatherings, cooking moments, or even photos of the dishes themselves will make your cookbook incredibly special. Family photos bring recipes to life and add a layer of personal connection that elevates your family recipe book from a collection of recipes to a cherished family story.
Recipe Photos: Optional but Delightful
Don’t feel pressured if you don’t have professional-quality photos of every single dish. Many beloved cookbooks are charmingly photo-free! If you’re keen to include visuals but lack individual recipe photos, consider adding heartwarming pictures of family members cooking together or enjoying meals. A lovely photo of children helping in the kitchen or a family dinner scene can be a beautiful and meaningful addition to your family recipe book, even without specific food photography.
Saving WeTypeIt Credits for Future Projects
Life gets busy, and family recipe book projects can sometimes take time. If you find you’re not ready to use your WeTypeIt credits immediately, or if you have credits left over after completing your current book, there’s no need to rush. Your WeTypeIt credits have no expiration date. You can save them and apply them to your next family recipe book project or any other cookbook endeavor in the future!
