“I highly recommend Create Cookbooks for any cookbook creation and fundraising project. We compiled a cookbook full of family tried and tested recipes from our community. It was such a successful fundraising project that I still, to this day, get comments about the book and its quality.
From recipe collection to book compilation, the process was very easy. The Create Cookbooks team were always pleasant and helpful whenever a query arose. Their experience really shone towards the end of the project with checking our book before publishing.
The sale of our cookbook was so successful that we did a reprint. I’ll continue to recommend Create Cookbooks to groups and schools who are interested in doing their own cookbook. A huge thank you for providing such a professional service and product. You won’t be disappointed.”
Good Shepherd Catholic Primary School, ACT.
