Frequently asked questions

One account with unlimited co-authors, unlimited recipes up to the book limit, unlimited revisions, one full-color printed softcover book (upgrade to hardcover for a one-time $20), and free standard shipping worldwide.

Your purchase includes a full year of access to the editor, so you can keep adding recipes and revising long after your first book prints. If you want to keep building new books after the first year, you can renew; if you don't, nothing you've already made goes away.

Each book holds up to 200 recipes with unlimited photos, and you can revise as many times as you like before printing.

A softcover book (or hardcover, for a one-time $20) printed in full color on premium coated paper in US Letter format (8.5" × 11"), with your recipes typeset into chapters, your photos, and your cover.

Our 30-day money-back guarantee covers two cases: something is wrong with the product and we can't fix it, or you've barely used it and haven't sent a book to print. Contact us within 30 days of purchase for a full refund. If a printed book arrives damaged or misprinted, we'll reprint it or refund it.

Tablespoon is for anyone holding recipes worth keeping: a parent's handwriting on an index card, a grandmother's Sunday sauce, the cookies your family asks you to bring every year. It's built to be simple enough that whoever has the recipes can add them — no design skills, no software to learn.

Paste or type your recipes in any format — a phone note, a link you bookmarked, a recipe you know by heart. We structure the ingredients, steps, and cook times automatically, and a photo of the original card prints right on its page. You group them into chapters, pick a cover, preview every page, and we print and ship your book.

Not at all. Every recipe is laid out for you in the same typeset style, so a book made from twenty scribbled cards looks like a book you would buy in a store.

Yes — there's no limit on co-authors. You and as many family members as you like can log in and add the recipes they're holding, from any phone or computer. One book, one shared collection — you decide what goes in before it prints.

Your recipes and your finished book stay accessible. You can still view everything and order more copies. You just will not be able to start new books until you reactivate, which you can do at any time.

Paste text from a website or a note, or type it out, and we pull out the ingredients, steps, and cook times and format them consistently. Snap a photo of the original card too and we print it on the recipe's page.

Each book holds up to 200 recipes with unlimited photos, and you can revise as many times as you like before printing.

Books start at 20 recipes — enough to feel like a real book on the shelf. If you're a few short, most families forget the weeknight staples, the holiday sides, and the things people always ask them to bring.

Yes. Photograph the card and we print it on the page alongside the typeset version, so the handwriting survives as well as the recipe.

Yes. Pick from our cover templates, then set your own title, photo, and colors. The preview updates live as you go.

Group recipes however your family actually cooks — Dad's barbecue, holiday sides, weeknight dinners, the baking everyone begs for. Rename and reorder chapters at any time before printing.

Yes. Add a photo to any recipe, and write the note that explains why it matters — who made it, when it was served, what went wrong the first time.

Absolutely. Add, remove, or rearrange recipes and make unlimited revisions before you print. Your book is saved, so you can come back whenever.
