We’ve talked about making a family cookbook for years. There have been a few attempts and quite a few recipes have been written down, but we never completed a finished volume.

So I asked: how can we steadily add family recipes and preserve the stories behind them? How can we keep a record of Tapas Nights or document how we made last year’s paella?

A family recipe website is a great place to start. You can get to it from anywhere, find recipes quickly, and keep all the photos you take — even the ones we never remember to share. We could also use to test a first draft for helping put that cookbook together.
