Prepare for Christmas with your Cook'n App

We have seriously upgraded our professional printing services. Now you can print your cookbook through a sleek, simple and user-friendly program, and the price cannot be beat.

Often, we have some reasons not to print our cookbook:

  • “Is it really necessary? I mean, I already have the Cook’n program.”  
  • “Isn’t it expensive? I don’t have the money to print, bind, and ship my own book.”  
  • “Do I really have the skills and time to make a book I’ll be happy with?”  

If you have ever asked these same questions, we have the answers. You’ll be surprised at how useful your own paper cookbook is, or at how wonderful of a present it makes. Plus, printing a cookbook through Cook’n is now cheaper and easier than ever.

Printing a cookbook is useful for many reasons.

Several Cook’n users have gotten a lot of use from their printed cookbooks.

One user, Jackson, has prepared a simple black and white cookbook to take out of the country as he travels. Instead of worrying about pulling recipes from his bulky electronic devices, he has quick access to all the recipes he needs through his professional cookbook.

Another user, Kathy, created a beautiful cookbook with family pictures as a holiday gift for her family. To her, recipes are cherished like precious family memories, and she plans to preserve them for her children and grandchildren.

Cook’n users frequently print cookbooks as graduation gifts and wedding presents. Paper cookbooks are perfect for people who aren’t at a computer often, who are going through a sudden transition like moving, or who aren’t subscribed to Cook’n.

Our professional cookbooks are cheaper than anyone else’s.

While it’s hard to put a price tag on quality memories or life-changing tools, we can confidently say that we’re among the cheapest—and easiest to use—printers you will ever find.

We’ve created savings in two ways. First, we updated our print service so that each cookbook is cheaper than it was just a month ago. Second, we significantly reduced the price of our cookbooks when more than one is printed. Are you planning on packing gifts for several graduating students? Is a family reunion coming around the bend? Are you getting ready for Christmas a little early? Good news: now for each printing job, each cookbook costs 10-15% less than the first!

Compare our prices to your local printing shop or to an online printing service. You can do this by turning your cookbook into a PDF and sending it to them over email. You will be astounded at the price difference.

With Cook’n, professionally printing your cookbook is easy.

Try this, just to see how easy it is (don’t worry, it’s free):

  1. Launch Cook’n on your computer.  
  2. Open a cookbook you’ve created.  
  3. Click Print, and select “Yes,” you would like to print it in cookbook format.  
  4. Let Cook’n do all the work for you—it will generate your professional cookbook.  
  5. Next you will arrive at the Print Preview screen.  
  6. Just to see what happens, click Print and select “Professionally Bound Cookbook.”  

It’s that easy! Cook’n will tell you exactly how much each cookbook will cost, and what the total price will be. Enter your shipping address and click Checkout. If you’re not ready to print, go back to your Print Preview page and click the Edit button. You can change your cookbook however you want!

But wait, I’m nervous.

Some users have trouble printing their cookbook because they need it to be perfect. What if they forget to add a recipe? What if they need more photos? What if they’re not sure they like the font?

Here’s my advice: in the professional publishing world, authors print thousands of copies of their book to sell around the world. Just like you, they get a little nervous about making sure everything is right. So, to calm their nerves and to find and fix any real problems, they print a single-copy proof of their book.

What is a single-copy proof? It is just one printed copy of your book that the you can use to make sure it looks and sounds the way you want it to, and to make sure you haven’t missed anything. As a writer, I have ordered a single-copy proof of my own books; they help me in three ways:

  1. Since everything is on paper, I can see how my book might look once I finish it. This eliminates the mystery about printing my book, and helps me feel settled about what I’ve done right.  
  2. I find errors that I otherwise wouldn’t have found on my computer. I can then correct those and print my book, confident that it looks just as it should.  
  3. After all my hard work, I finally have a physical copy of my book in my hands, and it makes me excited! There is nothing quite as satisfying as gripping my work and knowing that it was worth it.  

If you’re nervous about printing your cookbook, trust me on this one: try printing a single-copy proof. I’ve printed through more than one company by now, and Cook’n is the cheapest I’ve ever found. It’s a very small investment that will change your life.

Any questions?

Finally, unlike other companies, I’m happy to give you printing advice for free. Just write in the comments or send me an email if you have questions about printing your cookbook. You can change the photos, theme, fonts, and more. I’ll wait to hear from you!
