Turn handwritten family recipes into beautiful keepsakes
Are you bored of having a bookcase filled with cookbooks that you barely look at or consult? Do you have so many recipes and so little time to go through them in order to find something special to make? Going online is now the easiest way for you in order to find new and old favorite recipes?
Well, you might change the way you look at things when you read about what we have found for you. This might as well be the answer to the rows of unopened and dust-gathering books on your shelves!
Many of us, once we started cooking more actively, probably at some point we felt inspired and motivated enough to buy our first cookbooks, which we might or not have spent some time flicking through their pages, only to eventually store them away and never revisit them again.
Maybe, we even had the fortune to inherit our family’s most treasured recipes in the form of recipe-cards or big heavy binders. In the future, everything might be digitilized, but right now the majority of these recipes are in print.
Also, let’s be honest there is something magical when one prepares to cook, as you retrieve the paper recipe-card from its box or you look through the pages of a cookbook.
It might even bring back memories from your childhood, when your grandmother used to spend hours in the kitchen, preparing all the family’s favorites after consulting her hand-written recipes, which probably passed from one generation to another, finding eventually their way to you.
Now, thanks to modern technology and some very imaginative and talented people, you can have your handwritten recipes carved onto your customized kitchen tools, in this way you can not only read the recipe but have it at hand whenever you need it.
There is a store on Etsy called LaserFocusedCrafts that can engrave your favorite recipes on a cutting board only for around $30. A wooden board like that not only gives a really nice and rustic vibe to your kitchen but it could make an ideal gift to a loved one!
Another Etsy shop called Nestingproject can actually print your family recipes on tea and dish towels starting at $18. What a better way to have your favorite recipes at hand than on a beautiful textile. Another shop called zehrdesignco even engraves the recipes on customized plates!
The BmoreCreative410 on Etsy can have your recipes printed on a potholder only for $25, while the shop zoesattic can print your recipes on a piece of clothing only for $40.50. Can you imagine the reaction of a family member if he/ she receives a t-shirt or a shopping bag with his/ her favorite recipe printed on it?
There are so many different and unique options available that could make your everyday cooking even more enjoyable than it has already been, and at the same time, you will be preserving your family’s cooking secrets in a creative way. Don’t waste any more time and go on Etsy to explore all your options!
