Cookbooking: The Delicious New Way to Scrapbook

by Barbara Winkler

Cookbooking was born one recent Thanksgiving when Barbara Winkler decided she'd had enough of digging through old file folders and desk drawers to find her recipes. Winkler, a former executive editor of Family Circle magazine, realized that when she assembled all those recipes, she had made more than a home-made cookbook: she had also created "an album that displays memories of the good times as well as the recipes that helped shape them."

Cute project ideas

This book is filled with super cute "scrapbook" project ideas for the family, including: Grilling recipe booklet for Dad, cocktail recipe book for your trendy sister, dessert recipe folder for Grandma. There's also some yummy recipes inside: Saucy Apricot Chicken, Spinach Salad with Pears and Cranberries, French Toast with Baked Bananas. Although the recipe ideas are just included to get your creative juices flowing, it doesn't hurt that they are also tasty choices for the family. This would be a great book for moms (who have some extra scrapbooking supplies on hand) and their kids who enjoy making gifts and crafting.

Great idea

What a great idea. Combine scrapbooking with a way to save all those recipes you can never find while keeping the memories of special meals with friends, kids, family in one place. I liked the way each chapter featured a story about a real person's special occasion and then gave scrapbooking ideas on how to keep pictures, menus, recipes, etc. I also thought the suggestions for creating different types of scrapbooks was good. Using a lunch box to save the kids' favorite recipes. Or a decoupage tin for keeping favorite breakfast recipes on the kitchen counter. This book is filled with ideas and the way it's written, you can do any of them easily.
