A Glossier You

For the past year, I've been collecting food photographs (many on this site) and gradually pulling together the recipes for family favorites that my parents have been cooking for decades now. There are many memories attached to the standard dishes my parents have always prepared, and I wanted to document them all in a customized cookbook. A while back, my friend Aimee referred me to a site called Blurb.com where you can create books within templates using your own photographs and text. I had these collected for a Christmas gift to them this year, and was generally very impressed with the quality of the photographs that printed and the overall quality of the book Blurb produces. I opted for hardcover, and even then, the book was very budget-friendly. Despite the rush to cook some of the straggling recipes (for photos) at the last minute, it was completely worth it! I'd heartily recommend this site.

Very nice idea - and a wonderful way to showcase your photographs!
Happy New Year!
