Create Your Own Collected Recipe Cookbook - Turquoise and Gray

Hi - well as the times have changed, my little recipe card box that I write on cards and store away as become an inconvenience and obsolete to store and organize recipes. I find myself printing recipes from emails, as most of you probably do as well, or pulling pages from magazines so I don't have to keep the entire magazine. I am old fashioned in the sense I like recipes printed versus in a digital app or on my phone - I like to have the printed version to flip through when cooking.I was looking for a recipe holder that didn't just hold recipes cards, or a boxes - like I already have. I was looking for a binder, but not from Mead if you know what I mean.This recipe binder was exactly what I was looking for. It is just that - a binder. But is not gaudy or awkward. It isn't undersized for recipe printouts like most recipe collections on the market. It is convenient and in my opinion can organize even the most unorganized!PROS: - perfect for printouts and magazine pages - It doesn't' matter what size your recipes are, there is a solution in this binder for them all. - you can buy inserts for 8 1/2 x 11 inserts, or recipe card insert sleeves - so it is a one-fits all. All of you different types and sizes of recipes get organized in here! - It organized me in a way I never thought I could organize recipes. It is neat and perfect. - It probably holds between 100 sleeves - I put two recipes per sleeve (one front, one back) and no problem. - The binder comes with tabs - and also with labels. I personally renamed my own labels but it is a nice idea - There are pockets in some of the folders as well - which is convenient. - There is a measurement guide in the front and back of the binder which is just a nice add - It fits anywhere in my home - in a basket, in a kitchen, in a bookcase. It totally went from miscellaneous recipes everywhere to an organized binder that I label by chicken, pork, salad, chili, etc. - Meadowsweet Kitchens has a great variety of inserts, holders, other organizers, etc. I am hooked on this brand now. It is exactly what the average person needs. - I actually love it so much I ordered a whole set for my mom and sister for Christmas.CONS: - you have to buy the sleeves separately which get very pricey. - you have to open the rings of the binder through the actual rings - there isn't like a little lever or tab to open them. Not sure if that is just something in school binders but a good thought for their next round.OVERALL:Great for the everyday cook and busy person. Organized, convenient, easy, quick to flip through, variety of inserts... I would recommend this to anyone.

I really like this binder it has measurements and equivalents in it and also common food equivalents. It seems to be made very well. It also has plenty of dividers and tabs.

I love this product! Just what I've been looking for! It'll make a great gift too!

This binder is great, not to mention visually appealing to the eye. It holds a decent amount of recipes. I added additional sheet protectors for magazine pages to protect them. Works for my needs.

The media could not be loaded.  I love to cook and have piles of cooking recipe magazines. I recently realized that whenever I’m in the mood to try something new I have to flip through all my magazines to find the perfect fit. So I bought this binder to organize my recipes (and to save some space). I ended up buying 2! They look great and match my kitchen color scheme. The interior cover has common measurements for easy reference. Great find!

Great binder! No complaints

IF you print out or clip recipes a lot this is a nice way of organizing them

Excellent color binder to contain your best recipes.

Over the weekend I managed to sort through all of my printed recipes; organized them into categories; and place them in the book. The dividers are strong, and the stickers for the tabs give lots of options, such as desserts & cookies. The cookbook quality is very good and the book itself is sturdy.I bought two books, and as a gift for my friend I surprised her by organizing her recipes. The book is beautiful and I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one for myself, or as a gift.

I’m not a fan of this product, in relation to the quality and its higher cost compared to similar products. I bought it to be a recipe book for the different Instant Pot recipes we like.PROS- I like the teal and grey colour combination, and the little pot design, which reminds me of the shape of an Instant Pot.- I liked the idea having the flexibility to label each of the different dividers with the stickers provided for the types of recipes (soups, mains, sides, desserts, etc).- The high cost of the product made me hesitate but I reasoned that it’s flexibility in use would hopefully make up for it’s higher cost.- It was nice that there was a template on their website for a full-page recipe rather than smaller recipe cards.CONS-the quality of the product, specifically the dividers for each section was disappointing. They are made of a card stock and not covered to be water resistant in any way. When I will be using this book as I cook and bake, I would expect it to be made of a sturdier material that wouldn’t be impacted by steam, water, and any splashes that inevitably happen in the kitchen.- It’s basically a binder with paper dividers. I can buy a cute binder and dividers for a FRACTION of the cost, and then make my own labels. Not worth the over $30 price tag, in my opinion, especially with the quality.- Any inserts for the product like page protectors, have to be purchased separately, which further increases the costs- the template they have available is a blank page with a matching design at the top and bottom. I had to make multiple changes and photocopies, in order to include ingredients, directions, etc., which was a lot more work than I would have liked to do. But I felt compelled to keep working on making it look nice when the cost of the binder was so high- the measuring and food equivalents on the inside covers, while helpful, didn’t warrant the increased cost of the overall product.

Great binder! It's exactly what i was looking for.

This is basically a binder. Mine came a little bent on one side. The inner front and back are nice but the rest is just a regular binder with blue tabs and stickers.

Very well made . Extra pockets in binder for recipes. Material & design different from usual recipe binder. Very happy & so was recepient as given for gift.
