Preserving A Part of Me With Memoir Writer
I have always wanted to preserve my family’s culinary traditions and as fall approaches and our family Thanksgiving traditions are looming, I started looking for ways I could combine everyone’s favourite holiday recipes into one cookbook. I think it would make a special gift and everyone could take part in sharing their own creations with the rest of the family.
With a cookbook of memories on my mind, I went looking for different options and different packages to get started. While money was a bit of a concern, I didn’t let that hold me back on finding sites that could give me what I wanted. Time is of the essence although money isn’t so much. I would like to have my cookbook completed before the holidays. Even though there’s no place like home for the holidays, I enjoy travelling when the weather outside is cold and there are beautiful Christmas displays everywhere. I would like my cookbook to be completed before Christmas, so I wanted a company who could give me what I want at my time frame. This year, I have hopes of travelling to see snow because we don’t get snow here. I want to make snow angels and throw snowballs, lol.
I came across a couple of different places that make cookbooks to preserve our family recipes, but one, in particular, stood out. Writing The Soul uses personal memoirs to create lasting memories in all sorts of different way. They offer 6 different packages but the one that interested me the most is their cookbook of memories. It includes photos, captions, and so much more. It’s exactly what I envisioned when I decided to take on the task of creating my very own cookbook. I’m a tried and true Pioneer Woman wannabe. I love to cook. Creating recipes is so much fun that I consider it a hobby. I’m excited that I’m going to make my dream a reality and if you have any suggestions on what I should include in my cookbook, please leave me a message in the comments section. This is my first cookbook and I want it to be perfect.
Have you ever created a cookbook of memories?

I can’t wait for the Fall time to break out all of the yummy deliciousness. I also want to decorate!
Last year my hubby and I had an idea to create an ebook with some of our favorite recipes. I like the idea of having a physical book though.
I like both ideas, lol. I’ll have to check into an ebook cookbook as well. That way when I’m shopping, I can pull it up to see what ingredients I need.
This is such a neat idea! I love it so much, I have never considered doing this!
This sounds like such a great idea for a memorable and meaningful gift for family members. We have a lot of favorite recipes in our family and it would be great to preserve them in this way.
I love the idea of a cookbook of memories. There are so many recipes I wish I had from family members, but then there are stories behind the recipes I also want!
I want to collect everyone’s favorites and make a gift of the book.
Oh a really awesome idea. I would love to do something like this. i know my kids would really appreciate it! What a fun idea.
How exciting for you! I think it would be so rewarding. I look forward to hearing more about it!
A cookbook of memories sounds like such a great idea! I love creating recipes with my daughters so this would be perfect for us!
I’ve had my kids in the kitchen with me since they could stand. It’s really fun creating traditions in the kitchen.
A friend of mine did this for her Dad as a gift. I think it is such a wonderful idea. Many of our memories/interactions are around the dinner table.
I’m sure her dad must have loved her cookbook. I know my dad would as well as my mom.
This is really interesting, no I have not created a cookbook memoir before but love this idea. So glad you shared something that will help inspire me to create a memoir that I could hand down to my kids when they are older.
Glad you like the idea. I think it’s going to be a fun experience.
That sounds like a perfect way to capture memories and familial recipes all in one spot. Good luck with your endeavor.
Thank you. I think the family will love it.
I would love to do that for my kids. They ask for different baking recipes so I’d put in lots of desserts. :) Can’t wait to hear how it turns out!
Desserts would be a big hit in mine as well.
I will love to do something like this, but it looks like I can never find extra time for projects like this…
That sounds like such a sweet idea! I wish I had the time to do this myself!
I love this idea! I’ve never thought of doing this with my own kids or recipes, but my mom had a super old cookbook that had been in the family for years. I should start doing this.
This is something I have always wanted to accomplish as well. Since I do a food blog makes sense right. Something to hand down to the kids and grandkids. Keep us informed please.
