Do you employ cookbooks? I know that not everybody does, however I love utilizing cookbooks and my recipe binders when I am menu planning. I benefit from the analog nature of paging via a cookbook and writing down the menu plan and procuring record. We lately eliminated a bookshelf round our fridge and that meant that I wanted to give you a distinct format for the cookbooks. In the event you’re curious, you may see that earlier than and after right here.
Once we eliminated the bookshelf I took a take a look at each cookbook and determined which of them to maintain and which of them to provide away. This pressured me to essentially take into consideration what we use often and what we will do with out. There have been a pair cookbooks that I solely use one recipe out of so I made a duplicate of these recipes and put them in my recipe binders. You possibly can see my recipe binders on the underside shelf of the island bookcase – this submit shares how I put them collectively.
I knew I needed a basket of some kind that might maintain cookbooks on this counter – I discovered this classic French apple basket at one in every of my favourite on-line retailers – Dreamy Whites. It’s one in every of my favourite purchases. I like to stroll by this nook throughout the day – do you’ve got corners in your own home like that?
I additionally put the cookbooks that I don’t use often (however nonetheless wish to preserve) within the cabinet above the classic basket. This retains it from wanting overcrowded and cluttered and retains the cookbooks in a single place. I even have my recipe field up right here as nicely.
I love this wire basket for cookbooks – it’s the right dimension for a present cookbook stack. In the event you want some assist with menu planning you may like this package (it features a Recipe Binder Equipment pdf) and/or my Weekly Menu Planner Notepad.
