"I am sure you make the majority of your money from published cookbooks, but my girls and I love using the online recipe box. I decided to do this when they all moved to different cities. I was recently in Austin over Thanksgiving and my daughter was cooking from her Netbook via online Family Cookbook. Often they ask for a recipe and I send it via online recipe share. I think this is great. Thanks!"
— Donna Field, The Field/Miller Family Cookbook Project
