Have You Ever Dreamt of Having Your Own Cookbook? We Have News For ...

Have you ever dreamt about having a cookbook with your own recipes and cooking creations from 2020? If so, we have great news for you!

To thank you for sharing your recipes with us on Cookpad, we would like to make a digital cookbook personalised just for you. Your cookbook will feature YOUR name on the cover, and will contain YOUR own dishes, photos and even a personal dedication written by YOU.

This 25 week initiative will last from May 25th until November 15th.

Your final cookbook will contain 25 of your own special recipes, chosen and uploaded by you. Once the recipes for your cookbook have been shared and the deadline of 15th November has passed, Cookpad will generate a high quality, personalised and print-ready digital cookbook just for you. We will then send you your ebook in a PDF format that if you wish to, you can print out, bind and keep forever. Otherwise you can simply treasure it in digital form, or send it as a special gift to your loved ones this Christmas.

How to Receive Your Personalised Cookbook:

1. To receive your personal cookbook you must share one recipe a week during the specified cookbook time period of May 25th to Nov 15th. Each week starts at 00.01am on Monday and ends at 11.59pm on Sunday. You must have shared a recipe between these times each week to qualify for the cookbook.

2. You must start the cookbook initiative in the week of May 25th and have uploaded your first recipe by 11.59pm on the 31st May to take part .

3. You can publish more than 1 recipe a week, but you must pick only ONE single recipe each week to be included in your book (please tag your chosen weekly recipe with #mycookbook).

4. Your 25 chosen recipes must have clear method steps, a full ingredients list with measurements and a good quality main recipe image that you have taken yourself. If you do not meet these criteria, we will not be able to create your book.

5. Any type of recipe can be entered into your cookbook (meals, snacks, drinks, sweets etc).

6. Published recipes must be new recipes published on Cookpad during each week and can include new versions of recipes shared previously on Cookpad.

7. All participants who successfully follow this initiative and share one #mycookbook recipe a week during the specified 25 week time period will receive a personalised, print-ready cookbook in PDF format.
