About Framily Cookbook

Framily Cookbook is a shared cookbook for friends and family — a place to discover recipes, save the ones we want to try, share the meals we love, and preserve the recipes and stories handed down to us.

Some recipes begin as handwritten cards or treasured family favorites. Others are something we found online, tried on a Tuesday night, and decided was worth making again. Framily Cookbook brings them together, from something new we want to try to something our families have enjoyed for generations.

What “Framily” Means

“Framily” is our name for the friends and family who have become part of the same circle.

The cookbook gives us one place to keep recipes that might otherwise be scattered across recipe cards, emails, texts, cookbooks, websites, and memory.

How to Use Framily Cookbook

You don’t have to contribute a recipe to enjoy Framily Cookbook. Browse recipes, discover something new, or save recipes you’d like to try.

My Cookbook is your personal recipe collection. Keep track of what you want to try, revisit favorites, see recipes you’ve shared, and remember what you’ve cooked.

When you have something worth sharing — whether it’s a family tradition, a handwritten recipe card, or a new favorite — add it to Framily so others can enjoy it too.

Sharing Recipes

Framily members can share recipes they’ve created, collected, or inherited. A recipe might come from an old family cookbook, a handwritten card, a friend, or a favorite cooking website.

The person sharing a recipe isn’t always the person who originally created it. That’s why Framily keeps two pieces of information separate:

Shared by — The Framily member who added the recipe to the cookbook.

Original Recipe From — The person, publication, website, or other source where the recipe originated.

Giving credit helps preserve the history behind a recipe, even when it’s been shared or adapted over the years.

Privacy

Framily Cookbook is designed to keep personal and family information private by default.

A small selection of recipes may be made public so visitors can see what the cookbook is about. Most recipes, family stories, favorites, and cooking history are intended for signed-in Framily members.

Public recipe pages use limited contributor information so members can share recipes without unnecessarily exposing personal details.

The Goal

The goal is simple: discover recipes worth trying, keep the ones we love, and preserve the stories and traditions behind them.

Over time, Framily Cookbook should become more than a collection of recipes. It should become a record of what our families and friends actually cooked, shared, changed, and passed along — from everyday meals to treasured family favorites.

Not every recipe needs a story, and not every member needs to contribute. But together, we’re building something that can be enjoyed today and remembered for years to come.
