If you’re a home chef who’s made their fair share of meals, you probably own a handful of recipe books. Beyond all of the Instagram tutorials and YouTube influencers, there’s something lovely about having a physical recipe book that you can just plop open and follow. But are you really getting the most that you can out of your recipe books? Here’s a little secret: write all of your favorite recipes in a separate personalized notebook.
Optimizing Your Hits
You can own countless recipe books, and only use 10% of the recipes that are in them. After cooking for years and years, you know which ones are the hits, and you know which ones you love making. Sure, it’s always good to try something new, but there’s always something great about establishing a niche for yourself. If you write down your best hits in your own personalized recipe book, you’ll learn more about who you are as a chef.
Getting There Quicker
But even more importantly, the best thing about having your own personalized recipe book is that you save time. Instead of having to find your recipes every time by going through your books, you can just open up your notebook and it’s already there!
