The BigOven Cookbook utilizes the SharedBook API, which is publicly available for any site to use. In less than eight weeks, BigOven.com developed a market-ready solution to automatically flow recipes and photographs into SharedBook’s Reverse Publishing Platform for on-demand output in a choice of formats.
BigOven.com is the first company to offer multiple ways to connect to SharedBook. Users of the social network about food can create cookbooks from www.bigoven.com or from BigOven’s award-winning desktop recipe software for Windows™ PCs. Community members can make a book based on any set of search results on the site, or directly from one of the many Cooking Groups that are offered.
After making several selections, individuals can see an online preview of the completed product, and are given the choice to purchase the cookbook or to personalize it further.
