Recipe Books


If you play cooking games, it’s likely you know your way around a kitchen. Recipes aren’t anything new to an old pro like you, but that doesn’t mean you should limit yourself to what Betty Crocker published in her little book. Use basic recipes as a starting place and then embellish them to make them your own.

If you like mashed potatoes, don’t settle for potatoes, milk, butter and salt. Add other ingredients to give the mashed potatoes more flair and make them your very own. Then, as you create new recipes, you should write them down correctly and add the recipes to your very own file or notebook.

A one inch binder is the perfect size to start your own cookbook. Grab some dividers and you can make sections for main dishes, side dishes and desserts. Then get started experimenting.

The recipes you create and perfect over time can be written on paper or printed and put in the notebook. You can also print off other recipes from online or cut them from magazines and include the recipe in your book. Over time you’ll have a complete collection of what you need to master your own kitchen or café some day.
