5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent personal recipe journal, April 28, 2004

I have really enjoyed my recipe journal. I needed a book to consolidate my most used recipes in because I tend to forget what the heck I cook. It has made it easy for me to flip thru MY favorite recipes and find a quick meal to make instead of going thru numerous cookbooks when time is of the essence. It's fun as well because instead of just writing the recipes down, I am making both color and black and white copies of recipes and taping them in the book along with pictures of what some of the recipes look like. I also have been able to write down recipes passed down to me by my mother that have no measurements, but I can cook them as long as I know the ingredients.
It's a pretty book w/spiral binding and I am having a lot of fun with it. I hope to pass it down one day.
If you need the tabs, indexes, sleeves, etc...not for you.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not a cookbook?, September 18, 2003

I saw the page for Ina's new book and anxiously went, grabbing my credit card number. But, alas, it is not to be so <slipping my AMEX back in my wallet>. This is a journal for writing down my recipes, not Ina's. Not for me. Ina's three other cookbooks are amazing, full of great recipes for things like coconut cupcakes and roasted vegetables. Easy stuff. Great stuff. Guess it'll have to be patient and wait on her next culinary writing adventure. In the meantime, I'll be watching her on Food Network.
