"Maybe the little things, like having a meal at the table, are more important than we realize. Maybe these little things are really big things we never forget. And maybe, these little things are family traditions that make the bonds stronger and the memories more vivid."
Sheryn R. Jones

Sheryn R. Jones is the founder and current president of Cookbook Resources, LLC. She started the company in 1995 after extensive service creating cookbooks as on-going ways-and-means projects for the non-profit sector. For 18 years she worked with women's and men's cookbook committees in all parts of the U.S. and gained first-hand understanding of families and their regional cultures and food traditions.

She started Cookbook Resources to continue work with community cookbooks, but the company began publishing cookbooks full-time after successfully selling over 1,000,000 copies of several of its national best selling cookbooks.

Cookbook Resources turned its attention to providing easy recipes to busy families. It now has more than 55 titles, 16 national bestsellers and more than 270 reprint editions with many more titles on the drawing board. Cookbooks are sold worldwide and are published in the U.S., Canada, Australia, New Zealand, the United Kingdom and Russia.

"There is no pretense about our cookbooks. The recipes are quick and practical and make it easy for busy moms and dads, students, single parents, individuals and families of all kinds to share their time, food and experiences around the table. Our recipes are simple ones that carry us through everyday, that we remember from childhood and that season our special days with family traditions. Meals around the table are family traditions in the making and tie one generation to next."

"We hope everyone recognizes the importance of sharing time and meals together. If you do, our families will be stronger, our nation will be stronger and our own little parts of the world will feel a littler safer and a little more loving."
