A cookbook fundraiser can be accomplished in a variety of ways. You could give it a theme--such as desserts, easy 30-minute recipes, or recipes for cooking with your children. You can also do a basic cookbook divided into sections for soups, salad, entrees, and desserts. Let your imagination and your community’s cooking ability loose!
Prep Steps:
1. Determine what type of cookbook you’d like to produce and how you will collect recipes. You may want to consider whether recipe contributors will receive credit and/or if you’d like to include neighborhood or playground stories, etc.
2. Develop a marketing strategy for the cookbook.
3. Determine how you will print the cookbook and how it will be put together.
4. Choose a price for the book. A suggested price is $15 - $20.
5. Have someone who is a skilled proofreader-editor and organizer arrange the contents of the book after therecipes are collected.
6. If possible, find a local publishing company, university, or copy center that will copy and bind the completed cookbook at a discount or at no cost.
