Every family has recipes worth saving. Help us build a lasting record of our food traditions, the stories behind the dishes, and the hands that made them.
About the Cookbook
As we get ready to come together for the Toles Family Reunion in Atlanta, June 26–28, 2026, we're putting together a family cookbook to celebrate the recipes, traditions, and memories that have long been a part of who we are.
The recipes we hold onto are rarely just about food. They carry stories, reflect where we come from, and remind us of the people who helped shape our family. Some are tied to holidays and special occasions, while others are the everyday dishes everyone remembers and asks for again. Together, they tell a story of love, care, and connection across generations.
This cookbook is meant to capture that spirit. We invite each family member to share a recipe that feels meaningful to you — whether it is something passed down, something closely tied to a family memory, or simply a dish that always brings people together. Our hope is that this collection becomes a lasting keepsake for the family to enjoy now and pass along in the years ahead.
How It Works
Fill out the form below with your recipe, a short story about it, and who it came from. All categories welcome.
All submissions received by May 22 will be formatted into a professionally designed cookbook.
Digital copies available to all. Physical copies available for pre-order. Pick yours up at the reunion or have it shipped.
Publishing Details
The cookbook will be published through Amazon KDP, making it easy to order and keep for years to come.
Available as a Kindle e-book through Amazon. Instant access, no shipping required. Perfect for sharing with family members anywhere.
Physical copies available for pre-order through Amazon KDP. High-quality print with full color where supported. Pick up at the reunion or ship direct.
Once submissions close May 22, expect 4 to 6 weeks for design, layout, and publishing. Copies should be available before or at the reunion.
This is not a commercial product. It is a family heirloom. Every copy tells the same story: the Toles family, gathered around good food.
