The digital era has led to many great things. One of those things is the ability to create digital photo books. There are, of course, digital cameras now. The photos can be taken directly from the cameras and put onto computers. Even old photographs can be scanned into the computer now, too.

Preserving Your Heritage:
You can actually use digital photos and even digital recipes, to preserve your heritage, thanks to digital technology. For example, have you ever gone looking for an old recipe card and found it missing? On the other hand, maybe you found it but couldn't read it because it was smudged, ripped or otherwise damaged. Whatever the case, it's amazing how many old family recipes are lost forever that way.
The nice thing is that they don't have to be. You can scan old family photos and recipe cards into your computer and save them indefinitely. In fact, you can even type the recipes into the computer. That way, you won't have to deal with trying to decipher handwriting on the cards after that.
Combining Two Loves:
Most people love two things about family memories, old photos and family recipes. Maybe you've made a photo book before, but have you tried combining the two? You should. In fact, you can even use it as an excuse to gather the family together again, rather than just making a recipe photo book out of old memories.
Just try asking several of your family members or friends to gather together and bring copies of their favorite recipes along. Then, you can all cook and eat them together. Take pictures of each dish and of the family enjoying making and eating them. Then, when the party is over, you can put all of the photos and recipes on the computer and create a great book that everyone can enjoy.
The Design And Printing Process:
As for how to create the photo book online, there are software programs that can help. You can insert borders, background colors, captions and more using such programs. So, you can print a truly original recipe photo book.
As for how to print them, you can try doing so at home. You can also have them professionally printed. The professional printing idea is great, if you want to give the photo books as special gifts, such as for an anniversary or wedding present.
It's also possible to e-mail the photo book files to anyone in the world. So, if you have friends or family far away, they can feel like they were right there with you, as you made the photo books. That also serves another purpose. It allows the photos and recipes to be stored on multiple computers. So, they are even more likely to be around for all of your family's future generations to enjoy.
Friends And Food:
Another thing that you can consider doing is trading family recipes with your friends. That way, all of the families can enjoy sharing with each other and expand their own family recipe books and stories. If you and your friends love to cook together, that can be an especially fun thing.
