Client testimonials - Cookbooks and coffee table books

“Working with Callawind was a dream! Simply put . . . [our project manager] Marcy was amazing. When we contacted her, we had no direction, no design, no layout—we needed help. We ended up with a magnificent cookbook fundraiser for Robbins Hebrew Academy that we are so proud of. Marcy was always quick to reply to all of our needs by email or phone. We went from nothing to our finished, delivered product in four months. Remarkable. I would highly recommend Marcy and Callawind to anyone looking to publish a fundraising cookbook.“

“When we ventured into the world of self-publishing, my daughter Jennifer found Callawind and thought they would meet all our needs. They exceeded our expectations. Callawind adeptly and patiently led us from the initial design to the final printing and shipping of a book in which we take great pride. We sincerely thank Callawind Book Publishing and their wonderful professionals.“

“Callawind made things run very smoothly for The Bathurst Street Kitchen cookbook. We are appreciative for your insights in making the cookbook meet our vision.”

“Everyone always makes a point of telling me how much they love the cover design. That it’s so fun and really with it. I think almost everyday I just pick up the book and stare at the cover . . . front and back and think “Wow! This is fantastic!” Then I open and flip page by page and know what a great job you did on the inside work, too. I can’t tell you enough how much I appreciate your work on my book project and how much I thoroughly enjoyed working with you.”

“When we were just dreaming of a beautiful coffee table cookbook that would attract our targeted corporate sponsor, Callawind walked us through the options available to us and gave us great guidance and the courage to proceed with what seemed then a daunting project. The cookbook project was a true collaboration between our team and Callawind. Their personalized service was impeccable in quality, timeliness and cost-effectiveness. We couldn’t have produced the award-winning cookbook A Signature Collection without Callawind.”

“I am grateful to Callawind for helping me design and produce my cookbook . They are a very dedicated team and really go all the way to make it happen. I remember when I first sent them an email message to tell them about my project. They replied with many questions to help me focus on why I wanted to write this cookbook. Callawind helped me discover things that were hidden deep in my soul—things that I never thought would one day come out. Thank you for the amazing job you did for me. I don’t have words to describe how I feel.”

“We were exceptionally pleased with the end result. John Gomez, the music director of the OYOA, stated quite frankly that “the cookbook is simply superb.” We chose Callawind because of the flexibility offered and sensed that we would have a very good working relationship. Callawind’s pricing was very reasonable for the quality represented.”

“Working with the design and production team at Callawind brought the dream of 100 YEARS OF STORIES for the Montreal Children’s Hospital to fruition.”

“Callawind helped me create a magnificent cookbook. I choose Calllawind because I was impressed with the creativity, concise organization, and the high-quality of color printing. The service was exceptional. My project manager worked with me tirelessly, looked into every detail, incorporated creative ideas to make the book visually appealing, established a timeline that was followed—no guess work, everything explained precisely. Callawind prices were more reasonable than other companies. Overall, Callawind put their heart and soul into my cookbook.”

“We have had glowing reviews on Graceful Gatherings. People comment that it is not like the typical church cookbook, but more like Martha Stewart, Williams Sonoma, etc. We chose Callawind based on the quality of their product, the various options available to customize the book to our preference, the price, and number of books (we did not want to exceed more than 2000 books per run).

Service was excellent. Marcy Claman worked very well with our cookbook steering committee offering suggestions and clarification along the way. Throughout the project, we had numerous questions and Marcy guided us through the various stages with patience, expertise and complete professionalism.

We repeatedly hear comments on the beautiful cover, the special touches, the photography, the overall design, and the recipes. Recently someone mentioned, “It is the coffee table book of cookbooks!”
