Frequently Asked Questions ▼

1. Will I be able to add new recipes down the road?
Yes. As long as you have the software, you can make and re-make your cookbook as often as you want. Add more recipes, delete recipes. It’s your cookbook. Unlike some web sites where they print the cookbook, you have complete control, now and always.

2. Do I have to buy printed books from you? If not, where do I go to print them?
We don’t print the books. You are in control. Here are some instructions. Basically, you can get a kit to bind them yourself or take them to a copy shop.

3. Is there a downloadable version I can buy?
Sorry. Only on CD for now. It’ll probably only take a few days to get to you. In the meantime, start collecting your recipes and information on people.

4. Can I do a front cover with my own photograph?
Yes. It’s a feature we’ve just built in.

5. Does it work with a Macintosh?
No. But it’s very easy to copy and paste recipes into the software. If you know somebody with a PC, you can do most of the real work typing it into your Mac, then emailing the recipes to them for copying/pasting.

6. Do I have to use just one template? Can I mix and match?
Yes! Do half in Patriot and half in Fruit. Or just do the Salads in Patriot and the Soups in Fruit. Make half of them in small type to cut printing costs, and the other half in big type for those with bad vision. You have a huge amount of flexibility.

7. Can I copy and paste recipes in off the internet/email/Word/etc?
Yes! We give you one massive field that you can paste your recipe into. That allows you to format the recipes any way you want, and it makes it extremely easy to copy and paste.
