I'm looking for free easy cookbook software which especially includes an explanation on how to print and easily collate the pages. I want to make a cookbook with recipes on both sides of the pages, printed at home. Also offer different size pages and binding choices. I haven't found any replies that are exactly what I need.

Go to tastebook.com. It's fantastic and that's all they do. You can use your own recipes, pull in some from cookbooks, whatever and it organizes everything. Good luck.

Request: Cookbook Software or Template

Archived on 01/28/2009

I want to make family cookbooks for my daughters this Christmas. Does anyone have suggestions as to any free software or templates that are available to make cookbooks? Thanks so much!

A web site www.blurb.com publishes real books, with hard covers and all. The smallest, soft cover and cheapest is 9$. They provide a software that is really fun to use and you can print it out on your home printer to "proof" it or just publish it in your own home. (11/25/2008)

I found two templates on HP's site. I haven't tried them, but they look to be user friendly. (12/11/2008)

I am hoping to do a cookbook for my church. It is a bigger task than I expected. Does anyone know of a good software program or template I could use?

Hi Brenda, I have no idea of a software program or template, but I would love to know when you are ready to sell your cookbooks! Bless you. (08/03/2006)

RE: Cookbook Software or Template

check out: http://mrsal.cengl98.hop.clickbank.net It offers an excellent program that is a database for organizing all your recipes. It comes with a lot of recipes but you can add, delete and sort. It sounds like it would be a big help to you or anyone who wants to organize their recipes, and even make a cookbook. (08/03/2006)

I use www.lulu.com to self publish my books. They have a spiral coil bound option that is perfect for cookbooks. Email me at alex_and_michelle AT yahoo.com if you need more info or help formatting your book, if you choose to use lulu to make it :) (08/03/2006)

RE: Cookbook Software or Template

How about making a cookbook cd instead of a printed book. Just an idea. This is free software for your own recipe collection. I love this, I have over 1000 recipes on this now. And you can download it to a cd.

If not, here's something that might help:

RE: Cookbook Software or Template

This is just what I have been searching all day to find. A group of girls that I work with would like to put together a neighborhood cookbook, for free, as a service project, so I want to find a free template, or help somewhere, everything so far charges, any more ideas? Thanks, Tammy. (09/18/2006)

RE: Cookbook Software or Template

Try The Living Cookbook? http://www.livingcookbook.com/ (05/29/2007)

RE: Cookbook Software or Template

I bought Matilda's Fantastic Cookbook Software from the Cookbook People and I absolutely love it. It comes with something like 25 different design templates, including 5 or 6 church themed ones. I used the Stained Glass template for our church. Very easy to use. They have a birthday calendar, address book and biography thing built into it too that you can use without any hassle. Go check it out at http://cookbookpeople.com/ (07/10/2007)

RE: Cookbook Software or Template

I wound up buying the software Linda recommended here from the Cookbook People. Gosh, it's got a lot of templates. I'm sticking one of the templates in this post to give you an idea. (11/06/2007)

RE: Cookbook Software or Template

I am also looking at templates for a Church Fellowship Meal Cookbook. I would have liked it to be free but the ones I found are not very good. I would like to insert pictures and also have a nutritional information calculator. Is there any at an inexpensive price? Denise (12/19/2007)

RE: Cookbook Software or Template

Reading all the posts, I am ready to buy the Matilda software and binding kit from the Cookbook People also. However I discovered this link http://office.microsoft.com/en-ca/templates/TC010768851033.aspx?pid=CT101445101033 when I was on a Microsoft Canada website and was able to download and open in my MS Word 2003 Professional. I saved this and a few other downloads in My Documents folder and am anxious to start my own cookbook. Happy holidays to all! (12/21/2007)

RE: Cookbook Software or Template

I tried using MS Word to create a fund raising cookbook and it was such a chore. Also, the bad thing about doing it in Word is that printers don't like word. I ended up having to put the whole thing in a publishing software, Quark I think it was. Recently I found the Matilda's Fantastic Cookbook Software and it not only formats automatically and makes your table of contents for you, it can be turned into a format that printers like. A truly fantastic find! (07/31/2008)

RE: Cookbook Software or Template

Here's one great for family cookbooks - add your family names and emails, they can each log in and add recipes. Saves the editor tons of work. Tons of covers and divider options, too. http://www.FamilyCookbookProject.com (08/26/2008)
