Recipe book
I love notebooks. The groaning shelves my study bear witness to this passion, and every now and then I try my hand at making one myself. This is my attempt at renewing my recipe book, a battered notebook with torn pages, liberally illustrated with splashes of wine and dabs of butter. There is lots of inspiration on the internet, I particularly like Erin Zamrzla’s work, you can see it here , and I love these notebooks made by Attic Journals. My solution is nowhere near as elegant - I took a clip file, covered it with newspaper and stuck some of my favourite recipes on the cover, then covered the whole thing with sticky-backed plastic.
For the pages I cut newspaper down to A4 size then stuck one recipe per page -that way I didn’t even have to rewrite any of the recipes. In the case of old recipe books that were falling apart I took the best recipes out and glued them onto pages as well.
