I have been involved in the creation of a cookbook through a "vanity press." We used
TasteBook.com to publish several of my mother's compiled recipes in a ring binder format. These were meant as family gifts, and were more expensive than one would need for a fundraiser publication.
The categories in the cookbook we made were:
Brunch and Breads
Appetizers and Drinks
Soups and Salads
Sides and Bites
Pasta, Rice, and Grains
Fish and Seafood
Meat and Poultry
Desserts and Treats
Everything Else
Each section had a divider with a stock photograph from Epicurious.
The recipes were compiled in Microsoft Word files. The format for each recipe included a short preface, ingredients, cooking method, serving suggestions. We can add a photograph of the finished product, for publishing, we must have the photograph file (not just a link) or a graphic file.
As Susans Place is an international site, I would expect to publish the recipes with both original and metric measurements. That can be done in editing.
I have edited compendium volumes for my professional societies, know the complexity of the job, and am willing to tackle this project,
if we get the go-ahead from the Administration of the site. I am open to suggestions. This is a volunteer fundraising project, so the recipes and images submitted must be free of copyright considerations.
