Product Description

C.R. Gibson's lines of recipe holders have always been the best you'd find anywhere, and the Bon Appetit collection is no exception. It's rich, warm red faux leather covering makes it feel luxurious, yet ready to use. The 12 tabbed dividers help you group your recipes by categories, and the recipe card protectors keep your cards clean, and ready to use. The book comes with 20 sheets and forty cards (each sheet holds two cards). It's always best to order more cards and protectors, because just like most things, you're going to need more than you think.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice Recipe Storage Solution, July 5, 2007

I love this book. It's classy and sturdy. There is an Equivalent Measures chart inside the front cover, 12 tabbed dividers, and 40 recipe cards arranged in 20 protector sheets.

My one disappointment was with the tabbed dividers. I wish they would have been blank (or that they at least included a few blank ones) because I wouldn't have organized my recipes in the same way they do. Tabs include: Appetizers, Soups-Salads, Sauces-Dressings, Breads-Grains, Dairy-Eggs, Fruits-Vegetables, Pasta, Poultry, Seafood, Meats, Desserts, and Beverages.

All in all, I'm very pleased with my purchase and will be ordering another.

I chose this book for my brother-in-law who is still in college and has an interest in cooking. I liked it because it is relatively manly in appearance and would work with his macho image. He has only a handful of recipes thus far and therefore this book was the perfect size for him. I highly recommend it for someone who is just starting out with their recipes.

After buying a similar binder for myself, I decided to purchase one for my daughter's upcoming wedding. We are spending the next six months collecting family recipes from grandparents, aunts, etc to put into the binder.

This binder is a great style -- sleek and kind of modern looking. What surprised me, once I received it, is that the insert in the front of the binder is not just a picture -- it is actually a three-dimensional object (the tiny fork is adorable). It is recessed into the binder, so I don't think it will snag up on other cookbooks.

The 4x6 cards are a nice size and the heavy plastic pages are clear, allowing you to print on both the front and back of your recipe card (and to be able to see both sides without removing the card from the binder). I'm not a huge fan of the pre-printed categories on the dividers, as some are not those that I would use. However, overall this is a great product.
