Does your grandma make the best apple pie? Or your aunt across the country a casserole you can’t wait to taste as soon as your in her kitchen? Why not create an online family recipe book so that everyone can share their favorite recipes whenever they’d like?
It might seem like online photo galleries are only good for sharing snapshots but they can easily adapt to become an online family recipe book too! Get started by creating a shareable web photo album that has access for those who would like to contribute. You can create multiple photo galleries highlight different types of cuisine or differ ret types of recipes. Some examples are grouping by cuisine or grouping by soups, salads, main dishes etc. With few limitations on space you can be as creative as you would like!
Members then upload an image of the finished dish – or take shots of them preparing complicated dishes that might need more explaining. In the comments the ingredients and directions can be input. Other family members can add comments on the recipe if they make it slightly different or if they have other comments or tips to help recreate it. It may also be interesting to see who includes comments about their memories as it relates to that dish.
You have created not only a cookbook but a family archive to share recipes! Great grandma might have a rolodex of recipes she’s been making over the years or that have been handed down. Get the grandchildren involved in helping her make the dishes and then type up and add them to the web photo album. Take a scan or snap a picture of the original recipe card or cut out from a magazine or newspaper to further enrich the memory archive.
