Questions
Why print a cookbook?
Traditional cookbooks are somewhat a thing of the past but we have a modern take that celebrates the stories and relationships created through food and fellowship around the table. Use your cookbook as a way to connect with others and share your stories, experiences and photos in a useful, beautiful book. Every cookbook is customized with your choice of theme, colors and other decorative touches. You aren’t stuck with a generic template, your book is something that represents you and your group.
What should I create a cookbook for?
Celebrate an anniversary or milestone for your church or organization. Have you been established for 10 years? 50 or 100? Share your story!
Finally put all of those treasured family recipes in one place then print a copy for everyone in the family! Or commemorate an upcoming reunion.
Looking to connect with your customers? Ask for submissions from the people that support you and gift the book to them as a way of saying thank you.
Have each of your employees submit their favorite recipe and celebrate the people that make your company great.
Need a fundraiser? We offer tons of options that can help you stay under budget and meet your goals.
Why print with Pro-Type?
We know that you have options when it comes to creating your own book. But Pro-Type is the best choice for several reasons.
- Simple, No Fuss Process – Everything is submitted online. Each person visits a personalized webpage, types in their recipe, sees a live proof and clicks submit. That’s it! We compile everything. No big craft project for you.
- Time Efficient – We know how busy life can be and you don’t want to waste time collecting or typing in handwritten recipes for the dozens or hundreds of submissions you receive. Our process takes that all off your hands and saves you time and energy.
- Custom Design – Our designers can create a unique look for your book. You aren’t stuck with a generic, outdated theme. Personalize the book with your logo, company branding or the look and feel that is best for you.
- Customer Service – You have the support of our printing pros every step of the way. We love to brainstorm ideas and answer questions. We are great at what we do and want to help you create and share your recipes.
Do I need to download software or set up an online account to collect recipes?
Nope! We’ve created a hassle-free, simple way to collect your recipes. Once we launch your cookbook project, we’ll send you a password-protected link to a recipe submission page. The submission page is web-based and can be used on a computer, tablet or smartphone and is supported by all major web browsers. Try it here!
How are the recipes compiled into a book?
After a recipe is submitted through the online form, it is sent electronically to us. We combine your recipes with personalized design pages we’ve created and prepare everything for print.
Can I scan in or fax recipes?
Sorry – no. All recipes must be submitted using the online submission form.
Can one person submit more than one recipe?
This is completely up to your group. If you have a smaller group (less than 50), you may ask participants to submit 2 or 3 recipes each so that your cookbook offers a good variety of recipes and feels like a complete book.
Do you edit or proof the cookbook for us?
No we do not. When a participant submits their recipe, they will see their proof in real-time when they click “preview”. There’s no limit to the number of edits they can make to their own page so it’s just right, but once it’s submitted – it’s final!
How do you decide the order of the recipes submitted for our cookbook?
The recipes will be placed in the appropriate section per the designation marked on the online template. Then the recipes will be placed in each section as they arrive.
