Just in Time for the Holidays: SharedBook and Allrecipes.com Introduce Create-A-Cookbook for Home Cooks

New York (PRWEB) November 6, 2007 -- SharedBook Inc., the Reverse Publishing Platform provider, and Allrecipes.com, the world's largest online community food site, have introduced Create-A-Cookbook - a Web application allowing home cooks to create professionally-printed hard- or softcover cookbooks from their favorite online and personal recipes. Allrecipes.com members can now choose from more than 40,000 recipes to include in their personalized cookbooks, and then add their own recipes, notes, stories, and photographs.

Since there isn't always a convenient place in the kitchen for a computer, Create-A-Cookbook is an easy, one-click way to compile recipes in a book format that can be used and moved anywhere for easy access. With Create-A-Cookbook (http://sharedbook.allrecipes.com), users can also preserve treasured family recipes in the self-published on-demand cookbook, as well as share their favorite recipes with family and friends. Themed cookbooks can also be created for events such as Thanksgiving and Christmas, and for single subjects like soups or Italian food.

"For many of us, recipes and special foods are closely connected with cherished family memories, especially during the holiday season," said Lisa Sharples, President, Allrecipes.com. "Create-A-Cookbook is a unique way for our members to preserve their favorite recipes along with the stories and photographs that make them special."

Now, with just a few clicks using SharedBook's Reverse Publishing Platform, Allrecipes.com members can automatically flow recipes and photographs from their online Recipe Boxes into a structured cookbook that can be published in hard- or softcover format. They can then choose to preview and purchase the cookbook immediately or to personalize it further. Members can edit the content, upload additional information and photographs for the covers and the inside pages, and order as many or as few cookbooks as they want.

Allrecipes.com members can also invite family and friends into their personal cookbook publishing space to contribute their comments and photos. Invited guests can offer tips and suggestions on any of the recipes included, and personalize their own copy to publish. For anyone hesitant to share closely-guarded recipes online, the personal cookbook publishing space provides a secure environment where home cooks can display their recipes only to those they invite.

"With more than 5.5 million unique visitors a month, Allrecipes is the leading community based recipe site on the Internet," said Caroline Vanderlip, Chief Executive Officer, SharedBook Inc. "Create-A-Cookbook gives Allrecipes.com members the flexibility to publish collections of recipes in the way they choose, whether for their own personal use or as a gift any time of year."

Pricing for the personalized Create-A-Cookbook products begins at $24.99 in softcover and $34.99 in hardcover. This includes a full-color 20-page perfect bound book plus free domestic shipping. Additional pages may be inserted at a cost of $1 for every two pages. Completed books arrive in 10-14 business days.

You might think that a home-based business, which you have started, is completely ?auto-pilot? and there is no more work to be done once you are set up in the business. If you think this, chances are pretty good that you are deceiving yourself, because this is simply not the way that it goes with a home business. If you want the best chance of success, you need to start with advertising, and you have to always continue advertising, no matter how successful you think you are. Granted, a lot of home-based internet businesses are set up to be ?auto-pilot? and they are, to some extent. But there is still work to be done, and that work is advertising!

Have you ever thought about the origins of certain words? Take the word "phony," for example. British crooks once used different secret code words. On of those was "fawney," which alluded to a gift ring. The thieves would sell these rings, claiming that they were made of actual gold. So, the word "phony" began to refer to anything that was unreal. Another interesting word origin is connected to the word "hazard." This is derived from the Arabic term, "al zahr." What does it mean? The dice. The term became related to several games that used dice, ...
