Cookbooks & Prices

Sizes

Our Vogue-style cookbooks come in 3 different sizes:

  • A5 (210 x 148 mm)) - our most popular size;
  • Square (200 x 170 mm); and
  • Large Square (210 x 210 mm).

Design Styles

We offer both a Standard and Premium cookbook range.

With our most popular Standard Cookbook Range, the cookbook cover and main chapter pages are printed in full colour to display your choice of stunning photos or children’s original artwork. However, we can also include extra colour pages as well if you wish to display even more photos or artwork. Our minimum print run for this range is just 75 books (but we find even pre-schools can easily sell 300).

With the colour photos, you can either supply your own or choose from our large gallery of stunning Vogue-style food photos at NO cost to you. All text pages are printed in crisp b&w to keep printing costs to a minimum.

With our Premium Cookbook Range, you print your ENTIRE cookbook in full colour and have the option to also include lots more food photos or original artwork. This premium cookbook range is only available to schools or groups printing 400 or more cookbooks.

Personalising your cookbook (even more)

Some schools also include extra material to make their cookbook an even more special keepsake.

  • These include old price lists from their tuck shop, historic sketches of the old school building from the 1900’s, and even the stories and recollections of past and present staff and students.
  • One small country school with just 32 students used this approach to easily sell 300 copies of their cookbook!

Fundraising Profits

With prices for our cookbooks starting at a low $6.00 (incl GST) and with no up-front costs, this really is your recipe for fundraising success!

While you set your own sale price, for our A5 sized Standard cookbooks (our most popular), we suggest a price of:

  • $12-$15 for the smaller saddle-stitched books (or $15 for small orders);
  • $15-$20 for the perfect & wiro-bound books up to 200 pages; and
  • $20 for the perfect & wiro-bound books 200 pages and over.
  • $25 for the perfect & wiro-bound books 300 pages and over.

These give outstanding profit margins of 100% or more and potential fundraising profits of $’000s of dollars. Why not include local business sponsorship to raise even more money!

You’ll be surprised at order numbers, as many families will want to order multiple copies for both themselves and as beautiful personalised gifts for friends and family.
