In development · An Ithy company
A little of them.
Always with you.
Your family’s handwritten recipes, made into a finished book. Original handwriting, clear recipes and the stories between them—brought together in something you can hold.
The Keepsmade film
Personal stories. Finished things.
An ordinary recipe card can become a bridge between generations. See the journey from a handful of family originals to a finished book.
How it comes together
From the drawer
to the next generation.
AI-assisted preparation makes a personal book possible at an everyday gift price. Your family’s material gives it the meaning.
Make it yours.
We bring the material into a complete book, preserve the originals and ask about anything unclear. You review every page.
Keep it close.
Your approved book becomes a printed keepsake, ready for a kitchen shelf or a family gift.
Every page holds two stories
Their handwriting.
Your next Sunday.
The original has a character all its own. A readable recipe beside it makes that family favorite easier to cook again.

The first collection / In development
A family book.
A personal choice.
The planned first edition brings up to 40 recipes into an 88-page square book, with your complete proof approved before printing.
Proposed starting prices; shipping and tax extra. These formats are in development. Email us to hear when the first collection is ready.
From the personal
to the practical.
The recipe book is the beginning. Our wider ambition is made-to-order physical goods: personal books and gifts, and useful replacement products that keep the things you own in use. Made when someone needs them.
