One of one
Every book is one of a kind.
Different recipes. Different people. Different stories. Every book we produce exists exactly once — because the people inside it are never the same twice.
No templates. No stock content. Your book is designed, laid out, and printed from scratch — built around the real recipes your people actually sent in.
“No two books are the same — because no two couples' people are the same. That's the whole point.”
The finish.
Smooth matte hardcover. Elegant, durable, designed to age beautifully.
The paper.
150 gsm couché. Thick, smooth, built to hold vivid color and survive the kitchen.
The color.
Full color throughout. Every recipe, every photo, every page — vivid and rich.
The size.
Letter format. Big enough to read while cooking. A statement on any shelf.
Designed by us. Printed for them.
Made to be used.
Full book specifications →Ten years from now,you'll open this book on a random Tuesday.

That's what you're giving them.Not a gift.A kitchen full of people.
Still at the table.
Questions?
Do I need to upload a photo of the finished dish?
No. Just the recipe itself. We create every image for your book — that's what makes it cohesive and beautiful.
What if some guests don't cook?
Perfect. They can send a takeout order they'd die for. A sandwich they get every time. It's not about being a chef — it's about being in the book.
How long does it take?
Guests need about 5 minutes to submit. The whole process — from invites to printed book — takes 4-6 weeks.
Can I add recipes in any language?
Yes, you can add recipes in any language you want.
What if guests don't send their recipes?
Download your guest list from Zola or The Knot and send them a quick reminder. Most books end up with 30-50+ recipes. People want to be part of this.
Where do you ship?
United States, all of the European Union, and Mexico. Your book gets there.
