A LOVELY GIFT
Fill a few pages with the family's best recipes, write a note on the page after the cover, print it on heavy paper and give the binder at Christmas, a wedding or a new baby. Everyone can add their own.

PRINTING
Print single-sided at 100% (Actual size), so the tabs stay on the outside edge. A 1 1/2 inch three-ring binder holds the whole book; print extra recipe pages for any section whenever you need them.

This is a digital download. Nothing will be shipped. If anything doesn't work for you, message us and we'll fix it.

LICENSE
Personal use: print and fill in as many pages as your family needs, and give printed pages or cards as gifts. Please don't share or resell the files.
