I love recipes that have a story behind it, this keepsake would be a perfect way to record them. I had been writing all my recipes on a big plain, old notebook. This is just great! Thanks for sharing Kayse! 🙂

Every year in the fall time when the plums are ripe, my mom would make the yummiest German dumplings filled with a plum – covered with brown butter and sugar. Mmh. She still makes those for us every year when we visit. It’s like being a child again.

Rolling and rolling and rolling hundreds of perfect buckeyes every Christmas with my Mom and siblings. I still love making them today!

Each year, I make struffoli with my aunt, grandmother, and a family friend. It is such a sweet holiday tradition.

I have fond memories of my grandmother fixing a HUGE pot of chili and my dad’s family gathering at her house to eat and just be with family. We’ve all grown up and had our own families and the older generation has passed on but those sweet, house-full-of-family meals will stay in my memory forever.

I love baking sugar cookies with my mom, using my grandmother’s recipe that she began using over a century ago. Such a wonderful & meaningful family tradition! This cookbook wpuld be a wonderful place to record this!

Every time we would go and visit my grandma, she would have us baking up a storm in the kitchen and I loved it!

One of my favorite memories is making Christmas cookies with my whole family every year. We would make a whole day out of baking, decorating, and then packing the cookies to send to relatives who lived further away.

What a beautiful idea … just last week I was hunting down my great-grandmother’s recipe book that was handed down to me to use as part of a photo shoot.
Not only were the recipes she recorded special, but the handwriting, written in her beautiful calligraphy-type font with a fountain pen, is such a wonderful connection to the past.
We have 3 daughters (and perhaps in years to come 4 daughter-in-laws), and I’d love to bless them each with a special keepsake such as this.

I live 3,000 miles away from my mom. This would be great to collect recipes that I remember from my childhood plus recipes that I use with my family to pass on to my children some day.
