Use a Photo Album for Recipes

RE: Use a Photo Album for Recipes Post By Cilla (Guest Post) (06/26/2008) I made 10 of these with my favorite recipes and gave them away as christmas gifts last year. They were a hit.

I was trying of figure out an inexpensive way to make them into an album. (Well, book really) As I said in previous posts, my husband is a professional chef (32 years, but who's counting) I had an entire wall of our dining room built out with shelving to display all of his cookbooks. It's true you might only use one or two recipes from one book but when you are a professional, you want the whole enchilada. I'm with you, save my favorites for the one day a week I have to cook.

I do something perhaps similar. I buy page protectors which are acid free and archival safe. I print a recipe from the internet on both sides of the paper and slip into a page protector and then place the pages in a binder. This works really well. My recipe pages stay clean, they are easy to read and I make up my own cookbooks with the recipes I really like. When you buy cookbooks, usually you only make a handful of the recipes from the entire book. It's someone else's idea of good recipes but when I put one together myself, I know it's the kinds of recipes my family really likes!

My DIL likes using it, as does my granddaughter. Report Spam or Abuse RE: Use a Photo Album for Recipes Post by MCW (510) | (09/24/2007) Profile | Blog! | Contact Thanks for sharing this idea. I've done very much the same thing with my recipes. Several years ago I bought several 3-ring binders and clear economy weight sheet protectors at Walmart and I store all of my recipes in the sheet protectors. Sure beats having to prop up a recipe book. The advantage is that I can remove the recipe from the notebook and place it next to me where I'm working. And the pages wipe off easily if they can splattered.

After you prepare one that your family did not enjoy, lift the plastic page and discard. Now you have room for another! By Maureen Answers: Make Your Own Recipe Book I made a great recipe book out of an old photo album. This way when I accidently spill something, all I have to do it wipe it off and it's as good as new. I often include a picture of the item, too. By imaqt1962 (02/14/2005) By ThriftyFun Organizing Recipes I use a photo album to organize all of my favorite recipes I clip from magazines. This way they are safe from "kitchen spills". It's also an easy way to organize them in categories. By Angela Paule (07/05/2005) By ThriftyFun Report Spam or Abuse
