Gather The Memories:
The first step of creating such a book is to gather the memories. So, talk to friends and family and get them to send their favorite photos and recipes to you. Then, combine them to tell a story of cooking, eating and fun.
If you need more recipes, you should definitely get your friends and family together and have them tell you their favorites. In fact, you could even have a family cooking contest and include the winning recipes and photographs of the winners in the book.
Stories Make The Memories:
Remember that stories make the memories. So, you shouldn't just include photos or recipes. You should also include the stories behind them. When and how were the recipes creates? What was a favorite occasion on which the family enjoyed a particular recipe? Are there any stories associated with the recipe? Including all of those things in the book will help future generations to not just enjoy it, but also understand it.
Gift Giving:
Finally, gift giving is something that everyone loves. Recipe photo books make great, unique gifts, even for those people who “have everything”. So, you can give them to family and friends for no reason at all, or you can give them on special occasions. You can even start a photo book and give it to a couple who is just getting married so that they can expand on it.

Old Traditions:
Traditions can be powerful things in some families. However, there are some that are good and some that are bad. The tradition of sharing recipes or photographs and passing them down through the years is excellent. However, another tradition is for recipes and photographs to get lost, changed or damaged as they're passed down.
A New Spin:
A new spin on that is to use digital technology. Digital printing can allow your family to perfectly preserve photographs and recipes in digital Photo Books Online. Those can then be safely stored, while an infinite number of copies can be printed for family and friends to enjoy.
You can even use the new digital technology to include stories in you family recipe photo books. You can write captions about when each photo was taken or who created each recipe and how. It's a wonderful way to learn and pass down family history and to have some fun in the process.
