14.05.09: Tasty: All your favourite recipes in one book

Amarena cherry and chocolate cake, braised trout fillets, Asian
noodle casserole, and savoury cabbage stew – can all this really be found in a single cookbook? If so, the search would be long and you may well have lost your appetite by the time you find the one cookbook that features all these different cuisines. Wouldn’t it be so much easier to put together your personal cookbook with all the recipes you like, click for click on the Internet.

This is precisely what the new online portal www.oetkerselect.de, a joint venture of the Arvato Group company wissenmedia and Dr. Oetker Verlag, is here to do. People who love to cook and bake can go to this website, choose from several thousand recipes on the website and put together their personal book of the tastiest dishes. The pages are then enriched with personal appointments and packaged in a professional-grade hardcover getup before the book is sent to its author.

The recipe selection caters for every wish. A few clicks are all it takes to choose ingredients, determine preparation time and limit caloric content. What’s more, every user can add his or her title, subtitle and even a dedication to the book. A particularly appealing option is the possibility of placing a personal photograph on the cover and alongside the dedication. The pricing scheme is simple and straightforward. Starting at 22 euros, the cost of one copy depends on the number of selected recipes.
