FoodBuzz partnered with Kodak Gallery and gave me a free Medium Hardcover book to design whatever I wanted! Thank you Kodak!
I decided to make a cookbook of my favorite recipes on my site.ย ย Enjoy!
It was very easy to use. I simply downloaded my pictures and designed it however I wanted. I could crop, rotate, move, resize, and overlay the pictures with text. There were lots of fun designs and layouts to choose from, and the book turned out great. it would be a great tool to use to make professional-looking scrapbooks for birthdays, baby books, weddings, vacations, or favorite recipes.
Kodak also provided me with a special offer for you! You can receive 40% off any Medium Hardcover or Large Photobook at this link only:ย www.kodakgallery.com/creativityย Offer valid until 8/31/11.
THOUGHT-PROVOKING, MIND-PRODDING QUESTION OF THE DAY:
What would you make with a photobook?
P.S. Chocolate Covered Katie is having a fabulous giveaway (included is a 100% dark chocolate bar!).

The book looks beautiful! I bet it’s cool to have your hard work documented in something that you can hold in your hands.
Katie@ KatieDid says
The book looks SO great, what an awesome keepsake to have. I think I would make a book full of inspiring photos I’ve found around the web– food, faces, nature. I love looking through photo websites and becoming inspired by all the talent out there, and it would be nice to pick some favorites to always have on hand.
spoonfulofsugarfree says
Or a book of all of your inspiring photos! They are gorgeous! I am always amazed at them ๐
Christine says
How about your cookbook – can we get that?!? ๐
spoonfulofsugarfree says
Haha…yeah, I have been thinking about writing a cookbook, but I really don’t know how to start! You’ll be the first one to know if I ever get around to it ๐
missymiller says
You need to sell that girl!!!!!
Really!
I’m serious!
Like, 7 exclamation points style serious.
The Hippie Health Nut says
How cool! I love what you made. ๐
Susan says
that is a great idea! My daughter and I want to put together a cookbook for family, never thought about using a photo share site… I agree, though, would love to have you publish a “real” one! You have such a great website, I’ve been quietly following for a while and added you to the blogroll on my new healthy family blog: http://www.realkidseatspinach.com... thanks for all the yummy recipes & ideas!
spoonfulofsugarfree says
Hi Susan!
Thanks for the comment! I have thought about writing a cookbook, but I just don’t know how to do it! haha….maybe eventually!
thefitwriter says
Wow, I’d love to have your cookbook! Is there a way we can download it or order it? I would pay to have it…
As for what I’d put together, probably a book of photos from my nephew’s first year. He’s one year old very soon and I think that would make a lovely gift for my sister and her husband.
spoonfulofsugarfree says
Haha…no, I don’t think there is! All the recipes are on my site, anyway. Maybe eventually I’ll write a cookbook…
Cindy says
OH MY GOSH I LOVE your COOKBOOK
I want to make one now!!!!
I’ve made books from my publisher like that but never a cookbook.
what a killer idear!
plus you’ll have a keepsake of your blog years down the road!
IHeartVegetables says

Lauren @ WWoB says

Kayla says

movesnmunchies says

Holly McConnell says
The link takes me to the main site and I can’t seem to do a successful search to find your book. Can you link right to it or hold my hand and guide me there?
spoonfulofsugarfree says
Hi Holly!
It actually is just a personal book, so you will not be able to find it on the Kodak site. The site is for making individual photobooks for scrap booking, exc.
Mowenackie says
Wow! That came out so well. It’s beautiful! I made a blog book once: Year 1 of my blog. It was fun and made a nice gift.
Isabelle@cheesymiteapples says
This is amazing! Lucky you get to have all your favorite recipes all in the one place ๐
Megan@eatmybeets says
What a cool book! I love it! Beautifully designed as well. I just found your blog through The Smart Kitchen.
glidingcalm says
that is sooo neat! I would love a copy!
Kaila @healthyhelperblog! says
THAT IS SO AWESOME! Seeing you’re name in print!! Awesome! Maybe its a sign that that cookbook will be released some day! ๐
Olga @ MangoTomato says
wow. I feel like a total underachiever now. I just picked 20+ of my favorite photos and put one or more on each page as a portfolio.
SUPER impressed.
spoonfulofsugarfree says
Oh, I am sure yours looks great! Your pictures are stunning!
Denine - The Bicycle Chef says
Hi! I got a book too, but couldn’t figure out how to make my book into a cookbook with my recipes. Instead I uploaded full page close ups of my best food photos – sort of a food photo portfolio. I LOVE your book and am so envious of yours – now I can’t wait to make another book. So, I wondered, how did you get the index page and recipes onto each page? I couldn’t figure out the text inserts beyond 50 characters or so per page/image. Perhaps I selected the wrong template? Anyway, thanks for the inspiration. I’ll have to use the 40% off towards another book.
spoonfulofsugarfree says
My book allowed me to create large textboxes…..hmmm…don’t know why it didn’t work out for you! I just made an extra-large text box!
pure2rawtwins says
what a great idea! this reminds me we are so behind on our cookbook
fitinthemidwest says
Just finished making my book and I love what you did with yours! Looks so professional and great!
spoonfulofsugarfree says
Thanks! I will have to check and see what you created ๐
