We're doing a similar project right now. We've gathered the cookbooks and
recipe boxes from both of our Mom's kitchens and are visiting with other
family members to gather recollections, recipes, and stories. My wife's Dad
is still with us and has shared a few recipes and stories about butchering
and smoking from the family farm. My Mom is visiting here for the holidays.
She brought a copy of the 1937 "Irish-American Cookery" book with some
handwritten recipes in the back. One of them is from my Grandmother.
Whenever possible we're making the recipes and taking pictures as we go. I'm
also transcribing recipes into recipe software. We're using "Home Cooking"
from Mountain Software because it's simple, inexpensive, and gets the job
done.
We've done short (20 page) books before on other topics and have had good
success using the color printer at our local Kinko's. That might get a bit
pricey if you're doing more than a couple of copies though.

I found a good site for making a family cookbook. They even print in
color. It's called HeritageCookbook.com I have started and am really
pleased. It's so easy. I think this is going to work well for us. Has
anybody else used them?
