Growing up, my favorite home-cooked meals were the simple ones my dad would make: he’d dig into the fridge with a few key ingredients and somehow whip up Michelin-star steaks or Mongolian beef that tasted better than any Chinese takeout.
My dad has always been the unofficial chef of the family and never followed any recipes other than his own, so when I stumbled upon this Shutterfly photo book that lets you add custom recipes, I knew it would be the perfect Father’s Day gift for my creative dad.
Classic Recipe Photo Book
Shutterfly
Shutterfly has a wide selection of customizable photo books, especially recipe photo books, but this $23 photo book looks like a classic cookbook at an affordable price. It comes in a variety of size options, from 8 x 8 inches to 12 x 12 inches, and cover types include softcover, glossy hardcover, and premium leather cover. You can also choose from standard, standard layflat, and deluxe layflat pages.
Your book can include your favorite cooking and baking recipes, or recipes that have been passed down in your family for generations. Shutterfly offers several ways to design it: you can use our handy design tools, create it manually, or even use our free 24-hour designer service to create the entire book, which you can then customize further after it’s finished.
Naturally, since this is Shutterfly’s flagship product, your photos will be printed with smooth tones, subtle color blends, and ink coverage on each page. You can even throw in a few family photos for sentimental value, or even a side-by-side list of recipes.
One shopper raved that custom cookbooks are a “great way to preserve memories and share them with the whole family,” while another added, “I loved the options and flexibility available to me when creating my book.” They noted that “the book turned out beautifully and will be an heirloom for years to come.” A third said, “I love adding personal family photos centered around food and family to make the memories come to life even more.”
