Do you WORRY what to leave the kids?

Don't WORRY...leave them recipes!

During the COVID-19 pandemic, I spent a lot of time reflecting on family, friends, and the importance of preserving memories. For me, recipes are tied to special moments, and I wanted to make sure these weren't lost. That's why I started Our Recipe Tree—a gift for my two sons that has now become a platform for other families and groups to collect and share their own recipes and stories. I also needed something to focus on to stop driving my friend Julie crazy—she truly saved me during that time.

#CovidSilverLining

The pandemic made me think about how food brings us together. I wanted my sons to have access to our family recipes, not just in a book but in a format they could use on their devices. My cousins had already created a family recipe book, but it was hard to update and not everyone had a copy. We needed something digital and collaborative, and that’s how Our Recipe Tree was born. Big thanks to Jane, Jill, Norma, and Ken, who helped in developing it—each with their own stories and contributions. You can join us today for free and starting saving your recipes with us.  NO CREDIT CARD REQUIRED.

Building a Digital Recipe Tree

Our Recipe Tree is more than just a place to store recipes—it’s a living, growing collection that anyone can contribute to. You add a recipe once and can share, edit, or invite others to contribute. It’s a collaborative effort, allowing families to build something together, just like my family is doing. Check out one of our original projects.

DIY Recipe Collection and Cookbooks for Everyone

What started as a personal project has evolved into a platform for any family. Our Recipe Tree makes it easy to create a digital collection or a physical cookbook, inviting contributions from family members and friends. You can turn your collection into a book that can be passed down through generations.

Preserving Recipes and Memories for the Future

Our Recipe Tree is not just about food—it’s about preserving the memories tied to each recipe. Whether you want to maintain family traditions or create new ones, the platform lets you share stories and create lasting legacies.
