I tried to get my family to contribute recipes for a family cookbook -- didn't get one recipe. Got lots of "great idea!!" sigh....
Blurb.com is a great site if you do ever get a chance to put a book together. My father is an artist (part time) and I gave him a book of all the paintings we, the kids, have been given over the years. He's 86 years old and it was so wonderful to see him touched and moved to tears by the sight of his paintings in a hard bound coffee book!
So keep after those relatives!! I have already decided that when my daughter marries, I'm going to get a cookbook together for her - as a shower gift I hope to add pics of the relatives who contribute alongside of their recipe.
