What is Tasteful Memories?
A cookbook of their recipes and the memories behind them.
Tasteful Memories turns a year of family recipes and memories into a printed cookbook. Handwritten recipe cards become editable recipes, while photos and QR codes let future generations read each story and hear or watch the person who shared it.
Helping families preserve what matters
30k+
recipes & stories captured
How it works
Start small, add recipes at your own pace, and print only when your cookbook is ready.
Step 2
A question arrives. Answer however feels easiest.
Every week, a question arrives by email. Speak, record a video or write on any device. No app or login needed. Handwritten recipe cards become editable recipes with a simple scan.
Step 3
From spoken memories to written pages
Each recording becomes an editable cookbook page. We choose a page design based on what you shared and fill it for you. You can then add photos and change the words or design at any time.
Step 4
Share the recipes. Hear the memories.
Family can read, listen, watch and contribute as the cookbook grows. Order the printed book when ready. QR codes play each recording, so future generations can hear or watch the person behind each recipe.
See inside a Tasteful Memories cookbook
Turn the pages, explore recipes and stories, and scan the QR codes to watch the original videos.
Keep the way they made it, not just the recipe
A written recipe cannot capture the way they folded the dough, knew when the sauce was ready or told the story behind the dish. QR codes in the printed cookbook let your family watch and listen to those moments again.
What families are saying
From a surprise for Mum to an evening cooking Grandma’s recipe, hear what these books meant to the people who made and shared them.
Easy for the whole family
Share each recipe in the way that feels natural
Scan a handwritten recipe card and we recreate its layout in the editor, where you can change every detail. If a recipe has never been written down, talk through how you make it or show the process on video.

Remember the stories behind the meals
A question about a favourite dish can lead to a story you’ve never heard. Use questions tailored to your family, browse the collection for more inspiration or add your own.
From recording to page
Speak naturally. We’ll prepare it for the page.
Record a recipe or memory as it comes to you. We automatically transcribe it, remove the filler words and prepare the writing in the style you choose.
Spoken words
Well, um, every Sunday, my mother and I baked apple pie. Uh, the smell of cinnamon still takes me back to her kitchen.
Written version
Well, um,
Every Sunday, my mother and I baked apple pie.

Next, we choose the most suitable page template for the recording and fill it with the written version.
Questions families ask before starting
Answers about getting started, giving a gift and creating your cookbook together.
Have more questions? View all FAQs.Why is Tasteful Memories a subscription?
Your subscription gives your family 12 months of weekly questions, recording, transcription, editing and collaboration. Your first purchase also includes one printed cookbook. It renews annually, and you can turn off automatic renewal at any time.
What happens when my 12 months end?
New questions pause, but you have another 90 days to finish editing. After that, everything remains saved and your cookbook can still be read and ordered. Renew whenever you want to continue creating.
What if there aren’t many recipes to begin with?
That’s completely fine. Personalised questions help uncover memories of everyday meals, celebrations and the people connected to them. Everyone has memories tied to food, even if no recipes have been written down yet.
Is it easy for someone who is not confident with technology?
Yes. Tasteful Memories works in a web browser on a phone, tablet or computer, with no app to download. They can answer by speaking, video or writing, and family can help from anywhere.
Can I scan handwritten recipe cards or notebook pages?
Yes. Premium can recreate the original arrangement of a handwritten recipe card or notebook page as an editable cookbook page, without retyping it.
Can family members contribute?
Yes. Invite relatives to add recipes, stories and photographs. One person can organise the book without having to gather and write everything themselves.
Can I review and change everything before printing?
Yes. Change the wording, add or move photographs, rearrange sections, choose the page design, organise chapters and personalise the cover. You can preview the finished cookbook before ordering it.
A family cookbook, born from one memory
Mine began with my grandmother’s cooking. I remembered the dishes, but realized how much I still wanted to know: who taught her, who she cooked for and what those meals meant to her.
I created Tasteful Memories to preserve the recipes families love and the stories that help us understand the people behind them.
