Create your own cookbook via Cookbook Café.
Written by Lyndi of NWAFoodie.

Today is the day.  Today you are going to cross something off your things-I-have-always-wanted-to-do list!  You are going to create your own cookbook by using Cookbook Café, an easy technology tool that allows you create an interactive cookbook.

It’s free!

Cookbook Café is a new revolutionary cookbook builder that allows you to create and also shop for virtual cookbooks.  You don’t have to be a food blogger to create one, either.  You don’t even have to have a hundreds of recipes at your disposable.  All you need is a handful of recipes (four will do nicely), a theme idea, and a clever attention-grabbing title and you are set.

I created my first cookbook last month titled, “What to serve unexpected guests {and look like you planned it all along}.”  I took me all of thirty minutes to upload my recipes and create the book.  As of this morning, seventy people have downloaded it.  Without my even promoting it!

While my cookbook is available for free downloading, you do have the option to sell your cookbooks on Cookbook Cafe.  Think about the opportunities for your church group, sports team, or even… here’s a thought… The Arkansas Women Bloggers cookbook!  I just KNOW we could come up with a clever title between us gals.

There are just a few easy steps from start to finish.

1. Create a (free) account at bakespace.com.

2. Click on the ‘Cookbook Café’ tab and look for the ‘Upload/Share Recipes’ link on the right.  Click on that.

3. Upload your recipes, one at a time.  Feel free to add videos of images.  Once you feel like you have the right amount of recipes uploaded to create a cookbook, it’s time to create one!

4. Toggle back to the ‘Cookbook Café’ tab and look for the ‘Create/Sell a Cookbook’ link on the right. Click on that.  Follow the easy directions and you will be done in no time.

5. You’re done! Your cookbook will appear on the ‘latest cookbooks’ page.

6. You will receive an email with a hyperlink sidebar widget to add to your blog.

 

Cookbook Café is the brain-child of Babette Pepaj, owner of bakespace.com.  I met Babette at TECHmunch NYC in May and she is incredibly supportive of the blogging industry, setting up TECHmunch conferences throughout the U.S. and Canada.  I highly recommended becoming friends with her.

I can’t wait to download your cookbooks.  Come back once you’ve finished and leave a link so we can all support each other.

Happy cookbooking!

Eat well, my friends.  Eat well.
