Create Your Own Heirloom Cookbook of Family Recipes and the Stories Behind Them
Every family has recipes that hold more than ingredients.​
They bring us back to the people who made them, the kitchens where we gathered, the holidays we celebrated together and the traditions we still carry with us.
​
With Follow the Memories, we'll help you preserve ten treasured family recipes and uncover the memories behind them.
Through personal interviews, we professionally write five of those memories into beautifully crafted family stories and bring together with your recipes, photographs and keepsakes in a beautifully designed family cookbook.
​
10 family recipes. 5 professionally written stories. One family heirloom.

The Recipe Is Only the Beginning.

What Will Your Family Recipes Reveal?
Perhaps it's the pie that appeared at every Thanksgiving or the incredible sauce your grandmother never wrote down, she just knew it.
The cookies your children still ask for every Christmas.
Those recipes matter. But so do the people, places and moments wrapped around them.
​
Follow the Memories helps you preserve both.
