inherited grandma's recipe notebook , do you keep one?

[jenthehen]

Having spent many hours cooking with my grandma I find this is a lovely memory of her. It even has some recipes that I wrote in it for her when i was about eight. I would love to start my own so that i could pass it on to my son or daughter. Do you keep one? Do you know of anywhere that sells them?

I would have thought you could make your own (like a scrapbook) or use a nice notebook.

I have several, mostly cut outs from magazines as well as copied from library books. I bought spiral A4 size hardback notepads from Tesco that were less than £2 IIRC. They had various coloured covers which look quite smart, I use two, one savoury one sweet which makes refering to them really easy.

I found that any proper recipe books were quite mean in the amount of space they gave as I like to add notes. I think if you wanted to you could design your own cover in a scrapbook idea like SoupDragon said.

I keep one and it is falling apart as it is so well used. I have vowed that I will write it out for dd when she leaves home as she loves cooking and having a collection of recipes containing all of the household favourites will be really lovely for her.

yes

i started a hardback notebook in 1994. still there, but to be honest, i dont actually use it that much. things get remembered, and then, maybe put down.

I have one. I just bought a hardback note book. Got a few recipes off here.

Dh bought me a lovely hardback journal with plain pages, so I use that. Have written in recipes my Mum used, his Mum used, plus ones from other relatives and stuff cut out from mags and newspapers.

oh, and how could I forget - some great recipes from fellow Mumsnetters!
