Hey jiffys_frog_woman, I think that is a great idea I have thought of myself but I was going to make one for my mom,sister in laws and nieces. I have a discussion on mylot about swapping recipes so if you are looking for some good ones they have some great ones in there that sound and look delicious. With Christmas around the corner making a cookbook to give to family members and friends would be a good gift, especially if it had their favorites in the cookbook so they could have them when the needed them. I am saving up for ink so I can make my mom one for her birthday..Well good luck. I have started letting my little sister make small things that are easy she is 6 and I myself started cooking at that age she made my stepdad a birthday cake on the 10th of Nov she did a good job. Well, Hope you get all the recipes you need or want. I might try to look up a favorite of mine to post but I have tons of mail to check since I haven't been on the computer in 4 days I have alot to make up for now and close to a 100 must read emails.
