Frequently asked questions

How do you organise your favourite recipes?
If you love cooking, you accumulate recipes from everywhere — cookbooks, websites, scribbled notes, family members, the back of packets — and they quickly become scattered and hard to find when you actually want them. Building your own recipe collection brings the ones you genuinely love and make again into one lovely, reliable place. Writing them out yourself (rather than just bookmarking) has real benefits: you can record your own tweaks and what works, note who loved it and what to serve it with, and create something personal and treasured — many people's handwritten recipe collections become cherished keepsakes passed down through families. A consistent page format (name, source, servings, time, ingredients, method, and crucially a notes section for your adjustments and rating) makes your collection easy to use and means you capture the important details. Organise it in a way that suits you — a binder or folder lets you add and reorder pages and group by type (mains, bakes, etc), which is handy. Only add recipes worth keeping — the ones that earned their place — so your collection is all hits and no filler. Over time you build your own personal cookbook of tried-and-loved recipes, far more useful and meaningful than any shop-bought one, and a lovely thing to cook from and to pass on.
