Ebook Builder — Family Recipe Archive

Three grandmothers. One cookbook. A family's heritage in print.

Purpose

Generates a combined printable cookbook that aggregates recipes from all three family collections into a single ebook/book.html with proper attribution, categorization, and print styling.

When to Fire

• On /ebook command
• After collection-sync reports new recipes
• When the user requests a combined cookbook

Source Collections

Collection	Source Repo	Data Location
Grandma Baker	/home/user/Grandmasrecipes/	data/recipes*.json
Granny Hudson	/home/user/Grannysrecipes/	data/recipes*.json
MomMom Baker	/home/user/MomsRecipes/	data/recipes*.json

Book Structure

<!-- Cover Page -->
<div class="cover">
  <h1>The Family Recipe Archive</h1>
  <p>Recipes from Grandma Baker, Granny Hudson, and MomMom Baker</p>
  <p class="dedication">For the glory of God and the nourishment of family</p>
</div>

<!-- Table of Contents — by collection, then by category -->
<div class="toc">
  <h2>Table of Contents</h2>
  <h3>Grandma Baker's Kitchen</h3>
  <!-- categories and recipes -->
  <h3>Granny Hudson's Kitchen</h3>
  <!-- categories and recipes -->
  <h3>MomMom Baker's Kitchen</h3>
  <!-- categories and recipes -->
</div>

<!-- Per-Collection Sections -->
<div class="collection" data-collection="grandma">
  <h2>Grandma Baker's Kitchen</h2>
  <!-- recipes grouped by category -->
</div>
<!-- ... repeat for each collection -->

<!-- Cross-Collection Index -->
<div class="index">
  <h2>Recipe Index</h2>
  <!-- All recipes alphabetized with collection attribution -->
</div>

Per-Recipe Attribution

Every recipe in the combined cookbook MUST show which grandmother it comes from:

<div class="recipe" data-collection="grandma" data-category="{category}">
  <h3>{title}</h3>
  <p class="attribution">From Grandma Baker's Kitchen</p>
  <!-- ingredients, instructions, notes -->
</div>

Cross-Collection Duplicate Handling

When the same dish appears in multiple collections (e.g., both grandmothers' cornbread):

• Include BOTH versions
• Cross-reference: "See also Granny Hudson's version on page X"
• Do NOT merge or combine recipes — each grandmother's version is distinct

Print Optimization

Same rules as individual ebook-builders:

• Page breaks between recipes
• No orphaned headings
• Images sized for print (max 4in)
• Margins: 0.75in
• Collection divider pages between sections

Workflow

1. Run /sync first (collection-sync) to ensure data is current
2. Aggregate recipe data from all 3 source repos
3. Group by collection, then by category within each collection
4. Generate combined ebook/book.html
5. Build unified index
6. Validate: all recipes present, all cross-references correct

Integration

• collection-sync — Run sync BEFORE building to ensure current data
• nutrition-estimator — Include nutrition facts if available
• careful-not-clever — Never mix up which grandmother a recipe belongs to
