This review is from: What's Cooking?: A Recipe Organizer (Personal Organizers) (Ring-bound)

As a person who constantly clips things out to save, I really needed a recipe organizer.

This book is almost perfect. It's attractive, with it's vintage-style photographs and cooking-related quotes. It has pockets for your clippings, photo album-type pages for a recipe you're currently making (thereby protecting the recipe), and pages for you to write in recipes garnered from friends or family members. This book does provide a home for all of your recipes.

One problem is that the pockets are simply paper folders, and I am already stuffing them full! Perhaps an expandable cloth pocket would be better, but that is wishful thinking. Also, the paper pockets are already worn, and my recipes are starting to seep out the bottom.

Another problem is the collection of categories. Included are: Appetizers, Soups & Salads, Pasta, Main Courses, Side Dishes, Breads, Desserts, and Miscellaneous. However, I think that this is not all-inclusive. Other useful categories might be Sauces or Beverages.

However, for the price and purpose, this is a good item.

I had seen this book a number of times at different stores, and finally, I decided to purchase it.

So far, so good! I really enjoy the style of this recipe organizer. I have always wanted a good place to keep my recipes safe and organized.

Not only is it perfect for organizing your recips according to type, it's got some helpful hints and some great quotes!

It is an adorable book, and would make an excellent gift, or wonderful addition to your own kitchen.

2.0 out of 5 stars So Close!, October 31, 2005

This review is from: What's Cooking?: A Recipe Organizer (Personal Organizers) (Ring-bound)

I bought three copies of this as Christmas gifts.

I absolutely love the pictures and style of the book. However, the pages are so hard to flip that I'm seriously thinking of returning all three. It has a D-type clip and the pages stick on the straight side. Also, they don't flip back when you close the book. You have to manually turn all the pages back to the right side of the binder.

I have a blank recipe book similar to this which I was using just last night. It has the standard round clips. I flipped back and forth no problem. When I was done, I just closed the book and all the pages fell back in place.

So I love the look - but not the function of the three I ordered.
