The Family
Cookbook Project (www.familycookbookproject.com)
has been named the Best Publishing Website in the Web Marketing Association’s 17th
annual WebAward Competition for Web site development. The Family Cookbook Project creates
personalized cookbooks for individuals, families, church groups and schools.
This is the fifth year that Family Cookbook Project has been recognized for
their Website excellence.
“The Great Family
Cookbook Project is a website dedicated to helping families collect and
preserve cherished recipes into a printed cookbook that can be passed down from
one generation to the next,” says Chip Lowell, Co-Publisher and Technical
Director of the Family Cookbook Project.
“We are proud that our efforts have been recognized by the Web Marketing
Association with this WebAward. We will
continue to develop our site to help families, schools and church groups create
both online and printed cookbooks that become treasured heirlooms.”
The Family
Cookbook Project Website was started as a project in 2003 to help one family
collect and organize a family cookbook. Overwhelming feedback from those who used
the website led to its continued development and public launch. Currently, more than 41,000 families and groups
have started family cookbooks using the website and contributors have entered
more than 796,000 individual recipes.
“Personalized
cookbooks have been around since the 1950s, however the process of collecting
and organizing recipes has always been a labor intensive project for the
cookbook editor,” says Lowell.
“Now it’s easy and cost effective to have your very own cookbook printed. The Family Cookbook Project website provides
step by step instructions and tools to help cookbook editors invite others to
participate and allow them to enter their favorite recipes directly into the
online system. The editor then simply
reviews and edits the recipes, selects printing options, and sends the cookbook
to be printed. The finished printed
cookbooks are then received by the editor in only a few weeks”.
The Family
Cookbook Project Website previously been recognized as the Best Publishing
Website in 2011 and Best Family Website in 2005. It also was recognized in 2012
and 2009 with the Standard of Excellence WebAward.
