I don't know why, but I like writing my recipes down. I realise it's completely old-fashioned but something about reading a printed recipe makes cooking feel odd.
Up till now I've written my recipes in a notebook and I've tried to section them but of course end up not being able to find recipes when I need them.
So I bought myself a recipe book that actually has sections :) It's just a Paperchase one that you can get at Borders.


I've already ordered refills for the inserts because goodness knows I'm going to fill this up very shortly. They don't sell it at Borders so I had to get it online. They're not the same but they're the correct size, so who cares. Well, my middle sister would have a major problem because she's insane and has OCD (well so do I but about different things). She's totally going to remember I said this and kick me when she visits in the fall.

I love your ambition - I tried for years to do the same. Now I have stacks and stacks of photocopied recipes, snipplets cut out of newspapers and magazines. I write favorites into the inside cover of cookbooks - that way I know exactly where to find them.
I'm with you in writing things down, especially recipes. I love that this notebook opens and lays flat so you can have it on your counter while cooking. I also love that it is spiral and refillable. Cool find!
That is really nice... I have a few that I've put on paper but usually transfer them to the computer so if i splash all over them they are not lost forever...
This is the thing that your children will cherish! Well, along with all the lovely quilts :)
*eye twitch*
ooooh i want one so bad! absolutely love it :)
When we write things down, we make them real.
Very cool! That will be a fun heirloom to pass along to your children...filled with your notes and splatters and things :)
