yesterday i read classic annie's post about recipes. if you haven't read her post, check it out. i loved how her family handed down recipes in the original recipe box. i wish i had my grandmothers recipe boxes. not sure where they ended up? oh well, i'm sure we can all picture our mother's, MIL's, grandmothers recipe boxes, etc.
how do you store all your recipes?
i actually store a bunch of my favorite recipes here:
i managed to purchase the complete set. let's see, i have the mixing bowls, cookie jar, garlic holder, lotion/soap container and the 4 large canisters for flour, coffee, sugar and can't think of the 4th? this is such an awesome "classic" kitchen collection williams-sonoma carried for a few years. sadly, i believe they have discontinued carrying these items.
the rest of my recipes are in my cookbooks and a number can be found inside my PERSONALIZED tastebooks.
have you heard of tastebook? it's often considered the iTunes for recipes.
it's a website that allows you to create your own cookbook using all of your favorite recipes from sites like epicurious, allrecipes, fine cooking, food & wine, food network, gourmet, betty crocker, bon appetit, southern living....just to name a few!

I've got an acrylic recipe box with my monogram, but I also have a small notebook with all my mom's favorite recipes from mom, her mom and her MIL (grandmaw and granny, respectively). Love family recipes!

Ohhh what I'd do to get my hands on one of those recipe boxes!! NICE! :)
ReplyDeleteMy MIL made us a binder FULL of their (country/southern) recipes in a huge white binder in page protectors... use it all the time! :)
This is the one area I am NOT super organized with. I have a collection of handwritten recipes, as well as many computer printed sheets of paper. I stash them all into a black binder and keep it with my cook books. One of these days I'll get around to organizing it! xoxo
ReplyDeletewow the tastebook is such a good idea!!!
