Mother Knows Best
".... Not only did she give you life itself (and that awesome rack), Mom taught you absolutely everything you know. So this year, give her an M-day gift that proves you've finally, after all that back-talk and sass, absorbed her lessons. Immortalize her genius recipes in a classy custom cookbook."

A recipe for preserving family history
By Elizabeth Lund | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor
".... One site - HeritageCookbook.com - will even do most of the work. Simply choose from several covers and graphic styles, scan in family photos, and type in recipes, following the template.
Customers pay to use the site - the fee covers multiple family members - and must order a minimum of five copies of the finished product, which is 6 by 9 inches, has a spiral binding, and arrives by mail.
Susan Love, who owns the site, says business is brisk because family cookbooks combine two popular hobbies: cooking and genealogy. "When you sit down and think about writing your memoirs, unless you're a genealogist, where do you start? But one or two recipes kind of pulls it out of you. It's a tool," she says.
Ms. Love's first orders came from Southerners, who tend to prize home cooking and preserving the past. Most of her clients are women, who dedicate their books to the memory of a mother or grandmother.
Love's best pieces of advice: Choose one editor in chief and make sure that pictures are scanned in properly at the right resolution."
