Conversation Between Retiree and RecipeFiddle

  1. Good morning, Dave:

    I did my recipe book as a retirement project and as a Christmas gift for our families, so my project is finished. If your program had been available, I'm sure I would have been happy to try it. You are right, the process of using my Word Office program was arduous.

    My book contained 100 recipes, which at 20 cents a recipe would have cost me $20 to do. I think that would have been very reasonable to get it in a print-ready state. My book was very simple and did not contain photos so if your program offers a photo option, that would have been nice too.

    Best of luck with promoting your program

  2. Happy New Year!

    Thank you for the feedback on creating recipe books. I, too, prefer enumerated lists over paragraphs.

    I asked about recipe books because I'm want to see an opportunity exists to simplify their creation.

    Imagine if the "grunt" work for creating recipe books was automatic: table of contents, indexing, separating into parts (soups, salads, desserts, etc.), typesetting, photographs, print-ready layout, and paragraph vs. enumerated formats (yes!).

    I am searching for people interested in using the web site to create a recipe book and give me feedback on what needs to be improved to ease the technical (arduously time-consuming) aspects of assembling recipe books.

    Would this be useful to you? Would you care to try the site and give me some feedback?

    I also appreciate your thoughts on pricing. I thought that charging 20 cents per recipe to automatically create seems fair. What do you think? Too high? Too low? What would you pay?

    Dave
