A list of 1,000 funny cookbook titles for family recipe collections, church and club fundraisers, wedding gift binders and student survival guides, such as Whisk Takers, Grandma Didn't Measure and The Smoke Alarm Is Not a Timer.

About funny cookbook names

A funny cookbook title has one job: to tell people the cook does not take the kitchen too seriously, while still sounding like a book they want to open. The jokes that work best on a cover are the ones a whole family recognizes. Grandma Didn't Measure, The Smoke Alarm Is Not a Timer and Who Brought the Good Potato Salad get a laugh because everyone has lived them.

The 1,000 titles here cover the usual homes for a comic cookbook. There are herb, ingredient and kitchen tool puns (Thyme Flies When You're Burning Garlic, Whisk Takers), honest titles from a doubtful cook (It Was Edible; Dinner, Probably), picky-eater and family chaos lines, handed-down recipe jokes, student and first-apartment titles, grill and dad jokes, baking puns, potluck and church fundraiser titles, wedding binder titles and mock-serious ones such as Potatoes: The Complete Works.

The humor is kept kind, so a title can sit on a spiral-bound fundraiser cover or on a gift for a grandmother. Most are short enough for a cover. Add a plain subtitle underneath that says what the book is: the family name, the group, the town or the year.

How to choose funny cookbook names

  • Pair a joke title with a plain subtitle. Holy Casserole works on a cover once a line like Favorite Recipes from Our Congregation sits under it.
  • For a family collection, pick the joke your family already tells. If nobody ever got a measurement out of Grandma, Three Generations, Zero Measurements will mean more than any pun.
  • Read the title to the people who gave you recipes. A fundraiser cookbook has many contributors, and a title that teases bad cooking should make them laugh, not wince.
  • Search the exact title in a bookstore and a search engine before you print. Kitchen puns get reused a lot, and this list does not tell you whether a title is already on a published book.
  • Short titles print best on a spiral-bound or binder cover. Save the longer mock-serious ones, like Second Edition, Fewer Fires, for a title page or a gift inscription.

Frequently asked questions

What is a good funny name for a family cookbook?

Titles about the way your family really cooks land best: Grandma Didn't Measure, Three Generations, Zero Measurements or Who Brought the Good Potato Salad. Add your family name in a subtitle so the book still reads as yours.

Are these titles suitable for a church or fundraiser cookbook?

Yes. The list keeps the humor clean and kind, and one group of titles is written for potlucks, congregations, schools and clubs, such as Holy Casserole and Amen and Pass the Biscuits. Still, read your pick to the committee first, since every group has its own sense of humor.

Can I use one of these titles on a cookbook I print or sell?

You can use any of them as a starting point. The list was not compared with published books, and popular kitchen puns turn up on many covers, so search the exact title yourself before you print or sell copies. A subtitle with your family, group or town name helps set your book apart.

How do I name a cookbook for a student or a newlywed couple?

Pick a title that matches where they are in life. Two Burners and a Dream or Is This Still Good suits a first apartment, and Till Dishes Do Us Part or Merging Two Spice Racks suits a wedding gift binder.
