Trouble Getting Recipes! Looking for Solutions!

No matter if you are doing a fund raising, family reunion or just family memory cookbook the number one obstacle to finishing the cookbook is getting your recipes from others. I have called, sent numerous emails and threaten to leave the page blank with no better results. If you don't have the recipes you can not write the cookbook. I know several well intentioned people have tried to start a fund raising cookbook for the best of reasons and only had a few submissions. The project was stopped before it could even start.

Many of the people in my heirloom cookbook classes have the recipes and that is why they want to start their family memory cookbook so they do not have this universal problem. They have the motivation and the tools to start and complete their cookbook.

I hope some of my reader can furnish some ideas of their own. What did you do to get the recipes from reluctant people. If we can help each other maybe more people will be able to raise money for worthy causes or just complete a family keepsake. Help us! share your ideas.....
