Getting Started
Tasteful Memories is a guided cookbook platform that helps you preserve your family's most cherished recipes - and the stories behind them. With thoughtfully designed weekly questions organized into 8 themed chapters, you'll build a custom, hardcover cookbook that's as meaningful as the meals themselves.
With Tasteful Memories, you pay once and receive one professionally printed, full-color hardcover book - no subscription, no hidden fees, and no time limit to finish. Our simple editor autosaves your work, weekly prompts help you stay inspired, and while one person creates the book, you can invite family to contribute recipes, photos, or memories - making it a truly collaborative keepsake.
The chapters are designed to help you create a memorable cookbook, with guided questions that encourage reflection, organization, and natural writing. The questions build on each other, ensuring your cookbook flows smoothly.
All of our questions are food-focused and memory-driven. You'll be asked things like:
- "If your family had one recipe everyone fought over at gatherings, what was it?"
- "What's the first thing you learned to cook - and how did it go?"
- "If you had to cook a meal that feels like 'home,' what would be on the table?"
They're crafted to help you uncover the meals that matter most - and the stories that make them special.
Yes! We'll send you a thoughtful email prompt every week to gently guide you through sharing your recipes and stories. Each question is carefully crafted to help you reflect, remember, and write without feeling overwhelmed. You can answer at your own pace, skip questions, or revisit them anytime. Think of it as your personal writing companion - delivered straight to your inbox.
Yes! You're completely in control. Answer as many or as few questions as you like, in any order. Skip what doesn't apply and come back to anything later - there's no pressure.
Absolutely. You can add custom questions, type up handwritten recipes, include notes or anecdotes - anything that reflects your family's cooking history.
Yes! You can invite family members to add their own recipes or answer questions alongside you. It's a wonderful way to build a cookbook as a shared project.
