Guest guest Posted December 4, 2007 Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 I did this a few years ago and my niece cried so hard when I gave this to her for Christmas. I found a blank journal book with a nice cover design. I filled it full of all my recipes, on every other page I would cut little quotes from magazines, cute little pictures and place on empty spaces on the pages. You have no idea how touching this is as a gift. I've been cooking from my Mom's old recipes lately, I wish I could ask her what she meant by this ingredient or measurement or what degree for the oven or what sze pan but since I can't I jiust do a little trial and error and so far everything has turned out perfectly.

Guest guest Posted December 5, 2007 Report Share Posted December 5, 2007 Donna, I did that last year for my MIL & SIL. My SIL is the one who got me to switch over and become a vegetarian. They both loved the gift and tell me how much the use the recipes in it.
