We all have that one friend—someone who has a treasure trove of amazing recipes but for some reason, keeps them close to the chest. In my case, it’s a dear friend who sends me the most fantastic recipes—ones that make me feel like I’ve struck culinary gold. But despite my urging, he still hasn’t taken the leap to set up an account on ourrecipetree.com to share them with family, friends, and the world. And honestly, it’s a little baffling!
So, what is it that holds people back from sharing something as rich and personal as family recipes? Maybe it’s the idea of putting them online that feels overwhelming. But let me tell you, Our Recipe Tree was created to be the easiest, most meaningful way to preserve and pass on these treasures.
Why It’s So Important to Share
Recipes are more than just instructions to make a dish—they’re a connection to our heritage, memories, and loved ones. Think about your favorite family recipe. It probably reminds you of a holiday, a special gathering, or maybe a loved one who’s no longer with us. That’s the beauty of recipes: they aren’t just food, they’re memories.
By not sharing them, we’re risking the loss of this history. My friend’s reluctance to share his amazing recipes could mean that someday his unique family traditions could be forgotten. It’s hard to think about, but it’s true for all of us. And the amazing thing about Our Recipe Tree is that it’s designed to make sharing these memories easy.
It’s Easier Than You Think
Sometimes, the idea of “setting up an account” sounds like a lot of work. But trust me, Our Recipe Tree makes it incredibly simple. All you need is a recipe and a desire to share it. You don’t have to be tech-savvy, and it doesn’t take hours to get started. In fact, I’ve been working with Annie Hall, one of the brains behind this platform, and I can assure you, the site is designed with ease in mind. Actually, you can enjoy a FREE 15-MINUTE CONSULTATION to get started and set on the right path.
What’s Holding You Back?
So, if you’re like my friend—someone who loves to cook but hasn’t yet shared their recipes online—I urge you to take the plunge. Don’t let your family’s history stay locked away forever. Join me, join my friend (I’m still working on him!), and let’s grow something beautiful together at OurRecipeTree.com.
Maybe my friend will read this, and maybe he’ll finally get inspired to share. Here’s hoping!
