Just discovered a fantastic gift idea while doing some early browsing for holiday recipes. You can now create your own, hard-bound, beautifully photographed cookbook at www.tastebook.com. In partnership with Epicurious, Tastebook allows you to compile up to 100 favorite recipes from all the publications in the Epicurious family into a customized, tabbed and ring-bound cookbook. You can even post your own recipes to your Tastebook account, and include those in your book. To create a custom look and feel, you are given the choice of about three dozen gorgeous photographs to use for your cover, and you can even add an accent from a nice color palette. I wish the title plate on the cover of the book didn't obscure the photo, but overall this is a really neat idea. Each book is $35 - not bad at all considering you get 100 recipes and a jolly good time putting your book together! Definitely going to put this on the gift list this Christmas.
