Why This Matters....
Some of my favourite memories live in food.
From summer BBQs on my grandfather's lush lawn to funeral luncheons, church suppers, and birthday meals, the heart of my family has always gathered around the table.
And while many of my memories come from family meals, I know that family doesn't always mean biological. Some of the most cherished recipes come from friends who became family: shared dinners, borrowed traditions, chosen family gatherings that made ordinary moments unforgettable.
In the past year, I've had the honour of being published in my second cookbook, with a third on the way. Sharing recipes that carry real meaning, not just the food itself, but the stories behind them, has been such a joy.
But what struck me most was this:
Not everyone wants to be a published author. Nearly everyone wants to preserve the food and memories that define their family.
That's why I created the Heirloom Family Cookbook, a custom-designed keepsake that helps friends and families gather, organize, and share their most treasured recipes and stories in a beautiful, lasting way.

How do I submit my recipes and stories?
You'll receive a guided form to walk you through the process, no tech or writing experience needed!
Can I include handwritten recipes or old photos?
Yes! Scanned recipe cards, photos, and personal touches are welcomed, and make the book even more special.
Do you help with editing or formatting?
Absolutely. You’ll be supported the whole way. We’ll take what you send and turn it into a beautiful, clean, formatted design.
How long does it take?
Most books are completed in about 4 to 6 weeks from the time all content is submitted.
What if I don’t have 30 recipes?
No problem, many families include fewer. We’ll work with whatever you have to make something meaningful.
Can I order extra copies later?
Yes, extra copies are available starting at $50 USD each. We will confirm pricing for you upon request. We also offer gift bundles if you’re preparing for holidays or events.
Does this only work for traditional family recipes?
Not at all! This cookbook is for anyone who wants to preserve meaningful recipes and memories. Whether your legacy lives in generations of family meals or the laughter of close friends around a shared table, this is your chance to celebrate it.
What if I'm not the cook in my family?
This cookbook is often commissioned by someone who isn't the family cook at all: a daughter across the country, a grandson who never learned the pie crust, an extended-family member who wants to preserve what someone else has always made. You don't have to be the recipe expert to do this work. You just have to be the one who cares enough to make sure it gets done.
How does the gift card work?
When you give the Gift Edition, a gift card code arrives by email and you can print a keepsake card for under the tree. Whoever is making the book enters the code at checkout on the Heirloom Cookbook page whenever they are ready, and gentle daily prompts start the next morning.
Who fills in the recipes?
Whoever redeems it, the giver or the recipient. Some givers gather the recipes as a surprise, and others hand the card over and let the family cook lead the way.
Does the gift card expire?
No. Redeem it whenever you are ready.
