About Us

My husband and I have purchased community cook books for years, whether from groups that we belong to, like our church, or once in a while when traveling.   So you may ask - why an eCookbook?

A Story of My Church's Cookbooks

Years ago, my friend Eloise wanted to purchase our church's cookbook. She had been at a number of church group parties and when asking about a recipe was told - it is in the church cookbook. Fortunately for the group, but not my friend, the cookbooks were sold out.  So she called the printer and they said they would have to order at least 100 more, to reprint them, but that was not in the groups plans.  This first cookbook was done in 1995.  The church group eventually did a second cookbook in 2005,which I am pretty sure that she purchased the new one, but now it is 2017!  .  An eCookbook provides a living cookbook that keeps getting updated with new recipes, and keeps generating revenue on an annual basis.

The church's hardcover cookbooks sold out but I wanted one. Reprints start at 100 copies. Next time use an eCookbook!
