Mother's Day

This Mother's Day, give her the recipes back

She taught you to cook at her elbow, a pinch of this, taste as you go. This year, hand the dishes back to her: her greatest hits, gathered quietly from the whole family in an online recipe binder with her name on the label and a print-ready PDF.

Personal details

Build it from selected recipes and notes

Choose the recipes, contributor notes, the title on the label, and who can open the online binder and its print-ready PDF.

It's her kitchen, in a book

The Sunday sauce, the birthday cake, the soup that appears when someone is sick: the dishes she taught you, finally written down where they can't be lost.

Her name on the cover

Pick a cloth and write her name on the label in the cover's metal holder. Print the finished PDF with any local or online printer you trust.

The notes are the gift

Include margin notes in her honor, such as "Mom always burns the first pancake; it's tradition." The note stays on the recipe's sheet.

Three steps

Gather, enter, and review

1Gather

Ask contributors for one selected recipe and source note, then keep the responses together for entry and review.

2Enter

Use the signed-in forms to enter recipes and notes. A photo of a recipe card can create an editable AI draft before you save it.

3Give

Switch the binder to Anyone with the link, then share it at brunch. If you want a paper gift, export the PDF and arrange printing with your chosen printer.

A gift tipAsk each contributor for one recipe and one sentence explaining why it belongs in the book.

Quick questions

Planning the book

Is it too late to make one?

No. The online binder exists the moment you add the first recipe. Switch it to Anyone with the link before sharing it at brunch on Mother's Day itself. You can export the print-ready PDF and use any printer later.

Do I need the recipes typed up?

No. A photo of a handwritten card can create an editable AI draft. Review the draft before saving, and add the original card as the recipe's photo if you want its image on the sheet.

What does it cost?

The free plan includes unlimited binders, ten recipes and up to five drafts. If you need more recipes, the Club starts at $3.90 per week, cancel anytime.
