Who doesn't have a soft spot in their heart for their Grandmother's old cookbook? Whether it was the Joy of Cooking or Betty Crocker, cookbooks have a way of warming the heart and the kitchen. Unfortunately, the availability of recipes online has almost landed these special books on the endangered species list.

TasteBook.com is putting an end to this tragedy by combining the wonder and wealth of Internet information with the tradition of opening a thick cookbook and getting your hands dirty. TasteBook.com and Epicurious.com have come together and are inviting food lovers to create their own personalized cookbook. There are over 25,000 recipes on Epicurious.com, which includes favorites from world-renowned chefs that users can choose to add to their book. Family and personal recipes can also be included as well as the chef's name on the front cover. The final product is highly professional and fun to use. It is a hardcover book with a easy-open binder allowing chefs to add recipes even after the final printing. Each book can include up to 100 recipes, colored organizational tabs and cooking notes. This is a great idea for a gift or personal project and it will last longer than a bookmarked recipe website.

The final product is not only beautiful but the personalized aspect is just priceless. Cookbooks are one of the old world joys that have disappeared with the Internet tsunami and this is a brilliant way to bring them back.

"Sure, we all have a funky folder in our kitchen with our tried-and-true recipes. But how would we turn those into cookbooks, and how could we get our online faves from the computer screen to the printed page?

The answer was easy: Let's partner with some of the best recipe web sites like Epicurous.com which have over 25,000 tested recipes from likes of Gourmet and Bon AppÃ©tit magazines, as well as top chefs and cookbook authors. And then we thought, why not pair up with cookbook authors, editors, and bloggers, call them Guest TasteMakers, and have them create TasteBooks anyone can order or remix themselves? Oh, and yes, we definitely want to be able to add recipes from that funky folder. Tasty."
