This custom leather family recipe book was one of our special requests last year. Post bound, this custom leather family recipe book features protective acid free, archival quality sleeves for your 4″ x 6″ recipe cards that make *this* recipe book very kitchen friendly.

The idea for this custom leather family recipe book started in 2007 when our family got together and the discussion eventually lead to the “lost” recipes in the family. My mom explained that they used to just pass recipes down from mother to daughter - no recipes needed written down, they were just taught. A little of this and a pinch of that.

In an effort to “save” the recipes that haven’t yet been lost, we set about creating 4″ x 6″ recipe cards of all the family recipes that we enjoyed - old and new. Then, to protect those recipe cards, we added protective sleeves/sheet protectors for each recipe card to fit in snugly - so that the recipe wouldn’t be lost (and important parts hidden by splatters of this or splashes of that on the card!). Those sleeves were post bound to provide easy access AND the important ability to rearrange the cards, add new sleeves, etc.

This custom leather family recipe book quickly earned the “best gift” designation in our family, and our customers are telling us the same thing!

Whether you want to write down and preserve old family recipes, keep a book of great new recipes you find, or combine the two, this great post bound custom leather family recipe book is sure to “fit the bill” and earn the “best gift” designation in your family.

The journal exceeds my expectations and is absolutely beautiful. The color is just as I hoped: a rich, dark brown with purple undertones. The paper is terrific: great weight and hand torn edges. I can’t thank you enough for the care you took in putting this together for me.

And I even like the inscription (kinda glad we didn’t meet up on that one . . . Providence!): perfectly placed, perfectly “fonted”!

Grace to you as you continue your work and artistry,
