Thank you for your interest in this page! I'm excited to announce that this webpage, greatly expanded, has become a 122-page book that is available now.

I did a lot of research and pulled together the best information I could find so that you and your family could put together your heirloom cookbook, avoiding some of the mistakes that I made when I compiled my family's cookbook. Information that I just didn't have space for here is at the new website, with lots more information in the book.

So many wonderful people have emailed me questions and comments, that it encouraged me to put all of the responses and more to paper, so that others could benefit as well. I also hoped that people who are not as comfortable with the Internet might find the book helpful and I was able to do so much more in the book than I was able to do online. If I can encourage just a few people to preserve their family's recipes and memories, all my hard work was worth it! Please take a moment to consider all that could be passed on to future generations, by the simple (really!) act of compiling a cookbook...

Creating An Heirloom: Writing Your Family's Cookbook is available through the publisher, PublishAmerica.com, and at Amazon.com and BN.com.

This page has been phased out replaced with a site dedicated exclusively to the book. Please visit www.CreatingAnHeirloom.com for helpful information, an excerpt from the book, and Internet-exclusive freebies.
