Recipe Journal

I wonder if anyone can help. I am looking to purchase a recipe journal (i.e nice bound book that has note pages to add your favourite recipes in) it is as a present, so I would like a professional one, as opposed to making one out of a ring binder for myself!

Does anyone know of any good quality / nice ones.

Ideally if it did have a ring binder type fixing, it would help to add your own pages to, alternatively a pocket at the back, or in each section would be helpful.

Thanks for your help in advance.

    Hi CP,

    I saw a LOVELY few recipe binders in Paperchase yesterday (in Borders books) - really good quality ring binder style but just lovely - with different images on the front.

    I'm not making them sound wonderful, but they really are beautiful - one definitely made it to my Christmas list!

    Thanks Spendaholic

    these look great.

    But I MUST NOT go into Borders. I have NO money!:D

    Maybe I'll do it mail order.

    When I joined the Borders mailing list they sent me a 15% off voucher for use in store. Worth a try maybe.

    I have had a few vouchers from Borders - probably due another one soon.

    Got one last month for £5 off. DH mentioned he wanted a CD and was going to get it in Asda for £7.99 (or thereabouts). I announce I have a voucher so we go to borders and spend £17.00. We did get 3 CDs for that price but 17 is still greater than 7.99:eek:

    And it only stayed down at £17 'cos DH was with me and I kind of walked to the CD section with my eyes closed so I couldn't see all the lovely books. (could still smell them and hear them though - aaahhh lovely books!:o
