As my kids are all on their own now, one-by-one they have asked for certain recipes. Last year I gave the youngest a recipe card box filled with separate recipes, but this is much easier to manage, and hopefully encourages them to add more! SO the middle child will get this this year.

I love this book! It saves me the hassle of dealing with tons of cards or having to create a binder and put all the cards in covers. It also has a great kitchen tips all the way through for new and seasoned cooks. I have ordered TWO! It is a great gift for newlyweds as well so they can begin building their family recipes.

I received this book as a wedding gift from a friend. I love it! My husband and I can add our favorite recipes and keep them handy. I have added old family recipes, my husband and my favorite recipes, and we have created new recipes. This is a must have for every kitchen! Makes a great gift too! I will be giving these as wedding and new home gifts to all of my family and friends!

I've given this book several times as wedding gifts, and housewarming gifts, and each time my friends have loved it. The one I have I wouldn't do without, no more cards and pieces of paper stuck in a file box or another cook book where I couldn't easily put my hands on them when I wanted them. Now they are organized and easy to find. Thank you!

We had received a great blank/write-in cookbook for as a wedding present about 6 years ago and we use it all the time. Our families organized an effort to collect recipes from all of our extended family members, and write them in this cookbook to give to us to carry on through the next generation. It was used in our house almost weekly. We began to use it for all our recipes too. Before you know there are 100 pages of gold in that book. Then in November the plastic spine started to crack away and become brittle.

You wouldn't believe how hard it is to find a write-in cookbook. I went to Borders, Barnes & Noble, Wal-Mart, Target, Meijer, and just about every other book/bix box retail store in the Central Indiana market. Nothing. Either we hoosiers don't like to cook or this just isn't something people do. Well for those of you who do, I am telling you to buy this cookbook. I should've come to Amazon first. I learned my lesson and will from now on. We received in good time for Christmas and have replaced our original. The spine is metal, not plastic, so it probably won't break. The pages are good quality thickness and have plenty of room for each recipe. The organization of the book is good too. Now I don't have to flip though 100+ recipes to find my Dad's famous Egg Nog, my Mom's Chinese Red Pork, or my cousin's famous Seattle Seagull (don't ask - not really seagull).

I highly recommend this for anyone who likes to cook, and wants to keep their recipes in the family for generations to come.

got this for myself and i really am happy with it, plenty of room to write recipes

THIS BOOK MAKES A GREAT GIFT. IT IS ESPECIALLY GOOD FOR A NEW MEMBER OF YOUR FAMILY AS A WEDDING GIFT. IT WILL BECOME A "FAMILY BIBLE" OF YOUR COOKBOOKS.

I bought this book because I was keeping my recipes in a notebook. There isn't a lot of room at the top for the ingredient list but if you write small you can fit most of it in. There are chapters and each chapter has about 20 pages. So it is plenty of room for recipes. I love this book. I also read other reviews where people recieved or gave this book as a wedding gift. I would consider giving this to someone I know. Thanks.

I am returning this book. I wanted one that recipes could be inserted into; guess I misunderstood what this book offers. It just has pages to copy recipes onto.

I purchased the Our Family's Favorite Recipes so I could create my own cookbook. There are recipes that I my loves and I wanted a place to keep them. This is just what I needed.
