Create Your Own Collected Recipe Cookbook - Vintage Flowers

I had already ordered a recipe cookbook from a craft store but when it arrived I saw how small it was. Who has time to transfer recipes to little cards? I clip recipes or print them from the internet so this was perfect. There are plenty of dividers and the pocket will come in handy. I also ordered a package of 20 page protectors but if you have a hole punch you won’t necessarily need them. You can go to their website and download recipes pages that match the binders, save it to a pdf file and type your recipe right on the pdf. My recipes will stay organized and clean and it took no time at all to get them all filed. My only caveat is that I wish the cover had a plastic coating. I’m not sure if I can wipe it with a wet cloth without ruining the finish.

I am trying to make a cookbook for my son for college. I have ordered the silver and turquoise cookbook twice now. The first one had broken hinges. The second one came in and it wasn't even the same product. It was a floral pattern and just very frustrating. I have ordered my personal cookbook from Meadowsweet before and had NO problem. But for some reason, I just can't get this specific cookbook delivered in working order. I have received NO word from Meadowsweet, so I can't say much for the customer service. Thank goodness Amazon is great about returns. I'll be happy to update my review when I see a working cookbook in the selected color that I have chosen.

This is exactly what I was looking for: a fancy binder that I could print recipes out & organize them. This is sturdy, fits full size paper, can fit a lot of recipes, comes with 12 divider tabs, measurement equivalents on on the front inside, common food equivalents on the back. It looks simple and classy enough that it’s not just a binder and also says Collected Recipes on the thin part of the binder so you can see what it is while on a shelf. It comes with 16 labels for all the necessary categories from main dishes, one dish meals, seafood, bread, cookies and bars, meats, beverages, etc. it does NOT come with any additional stickers & has one thin divider with a pocket. I would suggest adding your own divider with a pocket if you use them and purchasing clear sleeves for recipes.

Disappointed that I received a defective binder in an undamaged box. The 3 ring bar arrived detached from the spine of the binder. I can't even get a replacement from Amazon.

Index cards for recipes are a total waste in my opinion.Full page, just like a cookbook works best in the kitchen.I found very few full-sized binders with a design for recipes, this was one of the few so I ordered it.I like it a lot, I place all the pages in protective sheet pockets.A few more tab pages and 2 more sleeve pages would be nice if the manufacturer is looking to suggestions.

I am in love with this recipe binder! It is even better than I hoped it would be. Honestly, I debated just getting a nice binder at Target for $5.99 because I couldn't imagine what could make a binder worth $16. But it was totally worth it. It is a really nice quality, and it is a square binder (11x11) so nothing sticks out the side. I had been using a recipe box, but I print most of my recipes from allrecipes.com and pinterest so I was finding the printed pages a hassle to fold up and put in a recipe box. They look awesome in the this binder and are so much easier to find. I also wanted to add, I used regular page protectors from an office supply store and they were cheaper than purchasing them online. Plus with the recipes in page protectors they wipe clean so the recipes don't get food stains all over them. I highly recommend this binder, I really don't have any complaints about it.

I was so excited to finally have my own recepie book. When I was organizing my recipies I turned the book to the back and the hinge on the top ring popped off! I was soooooo sad !! I loved the appearance and functionality but the hinge popping off ruined it for me. Now I have to go through the hassle of the return :,(

As many of us nowadays, I tend to find and gather all sorts of diverse cooking recipes on the internet, and frankly before finding this binder, I had all sorts of printed pages of favorite recipes disorganized all over the place: in my kitchen, in my office, and all over different places at home. It was actually a hassle every time I needed a recipe in a rapid manner!This binder is useful and convenient, it is sturdy and resistant to stains, is perfect for organizing by category and its extremely very pleasing to the eye.Of course, one can find regular binders at any office retail place, but those binders are never as good looking or resistant as this particular one is. And additionally, one can buy the plastic recipe protectors to cover at affordable prices, and this way conserve in pristine condition every recipe after cooking!Highly recommended!

I love the concept. Was disappointed to find there were not enough tabs for the labels so now ihave labels I want but no tabs for them. There also does not appear to be any available in a matching colour to buy. I bought a box of clear protective sleeves for my recipes to keep them clean.

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.

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.

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.

Recipes... maybe more folders for specific recipes would be good
