Gourmandize UK & Ireland , a recipe-sharing website, specialise in custom bridal cookbooks and want to help give your special celebration an added touch of class – without the hefty price tag.

Couples Cookbook: Together, share the joy that food brings

Give the perfect gift of a unique couple’s cookbook for your wife or hubby-to-be, filled with all your shared favourite recipes and future dishes you hope to create together. Flip through the pages of your memories, from your first meal together, to the carefully selected cuisine served at your wedding. So forget the forgotten wedding recipe box at your reception, and instead create your own recipes of love that will last the ages.

Bridesmaids

A bridesmaids gift to a bride is only limited by imagination, but what gift to choose to reflect your close relationship? Following the traditions of ‘something old, something borrowed and something blue’ give your bride the perfect keepsake with a unique personalised cookbook. Fill the pages with old and new recipes, sentimental you your friendship. And perhaps a blue lagoon cocktail, to calm the nerves.  Your bride will be truly touched by the thoughtfulness of her closest friends with every turn of the page.

Wedding Favours

While all wedding favours are valued and appreciated by your guests, its true that most favours will eventually find their way to the wastebasket.  Replace those all too familiar boxes of chocolate-covered almond sweets, with a special cookbook keepsake.  A special thank-you cookbook to thank your guests, which will remind them of your memorable day and bring joy into their home.

Save the Date

Your save the date and invitations are the first opportunity to show off your style as a couple. Take advantange of this moment to go beyond your basic paper invite by creating and personalising your own small Save the Date Cookbooks.

The Gourmandize Team

We attempted the Tour de France... well sort of.

Tour de Food is Gourmandize UK & Ireland's idea of what the Tour de France should really be like. Travelling around unsolicited towns and regions with the aim of discovering its traditional cuisine. 

Tour de Food would highlight the often forgotten regions of France, with each stop on the Tour de France's route, we'd encourage our members in uploading their own recipes, while also providing information and recipes of the surrounding area. 

Gathering the recipes would allow us to gift our members with some incredible prizes, courtesy of Bonjour French Box! 

Starting in Yorkshire (with an unavoidable Yorkshire Pudding I might add), we took off the same time as the racers excited to see what the next three weeks would bring. 

Members could tweet, upload recipes and pictures to our social network platforms using the hashtage #TourdeFood, or simply upload recipes to Gourmandize UK & Ireland.

The response we received from our blogging community completely astonished us with the amount of recipes that were uploaded to Gourmandize UK & Ireland! 

We could not have asked for more in terms of the recipes and quality pictures we received!

They're all absolutely amazing choosing the winning recipes was harder than we thought! 

Our three winners were: 

1/ Wandercrush's Butternut Samosanadas

Healthy, easy and delicious looking! It was done deal really.

2/ Fork & Good's Vegan Snack Bites

3/ Yet Another Blogging Mummy's Garlic Wraps
