Title: EDC "Bookmark"
Post by: O4aTimtam on June 30, 2010, 05:21:00 pm

Hi All

I'm always looking at the next recipe and losing my current ("tonight's tea") page. 

I have now tied a ribbon to the (rear) of the top spring, so I can have more than one recipe on the go.  It seems a such simple tip, but aren't they the best the share?  :)    PS  Credit goes to Stephanie Alexander's "Cook's Companion" which includes several built in ribbon bookmarks.

now that is a great idea. I have done that to my consultants diary. Mark the next couple of days I have available plus the current week  ;D

Thanks for the tip, I can never find anything in that book - maybe I need a ribbon for all my regulars  :P :P

It is a good idea. At the moment I use post its that stick out with the name of the recipe on it. They get very tatty though.
I remember when I first saw the TMX the lady's book was a real mess and I thought 'gosh my cookbooks get yuk but not as bad as that.' I now know the reason and mine is a really loved book too.

I also did that too to my spiral bound recipe books, and posted the tip here (http://www.forumthermomix.com/index.php?topic=2308.0). Very handy indeed.

Funny how you need to read, hear, see etc something more than once for it to sink in  :o :o don't know if it actually stays in my brain or just flows on through.

Thanks CP63 - though I don't remember reading it before and wonder if it was amongst those many many pages of unread posts that I have and am trying to get through bit by bit  ???

You girls are so smart.   I can't stand messy cook books,  but this is what happens when you make two recipes at the same time from the one book.  To avoid this I print off the recipe and use this to work from.  I know ,  poor trees,   but I can't stand the gunk on the book.

I think you are smart keeping your books clean. I write all over mine. I have a dot system rating the recipe and once permanent adjustments are made I write them into the book. Neatly of course, between all the speckles that accidently get on them.
