Five Tips for Kick Starting
Your Family Memory Cookbook!
If you are like most of us, you have little time and even with your best intentions of having a family cookbook done. Here are some helpful hints that will have your cookbook almost writing itself…
- Notify every family member attending next holiday function they will need to bring at least one family photograph, one family story and a family recipe.
- Have one person collect all the items from the relatives as they come for the event. This person should write down what each person has contributed, make sure all the contact information is correct so if there are any more questions later they can be contacted.
- Have a recorder going as one person reads the stories for everyone’s reaction. See if these stories remind people of new stories that also can be added to the cookbook later.
- Have someone take photographs while people are telling their stories or just sitting around before the meal. Add these new photos to cookbook too.
- Order a copy of “A Plate Full of Memories” to use the forms for figuring out the cost of your cookbook, handling family orders and the reorders since your have collected all the elements already! After this year's holiday meal you then can start put it all together...
