How to Make Your Own Cookbook

Sorry, folks, this one isn't free, but it sure is pretty...

TasteBook is a website that lets you turn your own recipes into a hardcover binder-type cookbook. These ain't your momma's index cards - Tastebook is an example of just how awesomely cool self-publishing has become. You can collaborate with friends and family on books, add photos, customize the layout, and nab recipes from epicurious.com if you don't have any recipes of your own.

I haven't made a TasteBook yet but I'm tempted... right now all my recipes are in an ugly 3-ring binder. Heidi from 101 Cookbooks has more details... let's just say, she's impressed:

I was lucky to see a sneak peek of an early version of TasteBook months ago - nearly falling out of my chair when I saw how nice these custom books turned out. I remember thinking, wow, these guys are serious. The physical object I was holding in my hands combined lovely design sensibility with great production quality and a level of customization that I didn't think was possible. Well, maybe I though it was possible, but certainly not probable.
