feature artwork
Creating a book doesn't just have to be about food alone. Create a book about the ancestry of your family or the history of your community or region, and include old photos and the stories behind them. The possibilities are endless.
Treasured memories
Whether you’re a school or organisation or individual, celebrate the occasion by creating a cookbook that is filled with old and new photos, special artwork, special stories, or the history of your school or organisation.
celebrating an occasion
Create a cookbook that promotes your business, whether you’re a chef or run a food-related shop or business. A professionally published cookbook is a great way to show off your produce and talents to your customers.
Promoting your line of business
Old family recipes are priceless. There's something special about following your relative’s own cursive script when preparing their signature dishes. Handwritten and recipes torn from old magazines are usually faded and stained, tucked away in recipe boxes for safekeeping. A great way to preserve these precious heirlooms is by scanning or taking a good-quality photo and featuring them in a cookbook keeping loved ones' memories alive and ensuring that they can be shared with future generations to come.
Handwritten recipes
You may be lucky enough to live in a tourist location to showcase your region. Create a cookbook featuring all the eateries in your area, the wineries in your region, the countryside with the philosophy of “paddock-to-plate” or “nose-to-tail”, or living by the seaside. Culminate everything about your region, the community you share it with, its history, and the food and products unique to your area in a beautiful cookbook.
Promote your region
Create a travel book featuring photos of that magical holiday adventure. Include the food you enjoyed and the places you visited.
