MacLean-Fogg Anniversary Cookbook

Meet Rachel
Heirloom Collaborative was born from a deeply personal experience that showed me how powerful food can be in connecting generations. In 2019, I created a cookbook for my husband’s grandmother as a tribute to her life and love of cooking. When she passed away the following year, that book became much more than a collection of recipes—it became a source of comfort, remembrance, and a way for our family to stay connected through her legacy.
The impact of that project inspired me to help others capture their own stories in the same way. I officially founded Heirloom Collaborative in 2021 to create custom cookbooks that celebrate heritage, honor loved ones, and preserve family memories through food.
At its heart, Heirloom Collaborative exists to help people celebrate connection—through recipes, memories, and shared traditions. What began as one family’s keepsake has evolved into a growing business that helps others preserve the stories that matter most.

No Two Books Are The Same
Each project is scoped based on the number of recipes, level of photography, storytelling needs and whether recipes are prepared by the client or handled entirely by Heirloom Collaborative.
If you see a project here that resonates, it can serve as a starting point rather than a template.
FROM FAMILIES WE'VE WORKED WITH
It was so wonderful working with Rachel on a custom cookbook we gifted to our mom. She took the time to understand our ideas & collaborate to create a shared vision of what was truly a masterpiece of a final product. An absolute treasure. It's also a gift that keeps on giving, as other's have asked for their own copies of the cookbook after seeing it in our kitchens. It was so great working with Rachel & Heirloom Collaborative on this project, cannot thank her enough!”

“Rachel did a beautiful job capturing my in-laws' most beloved and requested recipes in this book! She was an absolute joy to work with on this treasured project. Our favorite part of the cookbook (aside from the stunning food photos) was having the ability to include clips of the original grease-stained recipe cards from generations past, and also being able to involve the whole family by inviting them to write blurbs to express their emotions/memories around their favorite recipes."

“I worked with Rachel to create a very personal cookbook honoring and in memory of my late husband. She captured it perfectly and created a beautiful cookbook. She is a joy to work with, always caring, professional and available to answer questions and make important suggestions. She is a class act and I will forever be grateful to her for making my dream come true…. She really does ‘create with love’!”
