Creative Recipe Swapping

RECIPE Notebook recipent #3 Elizabeth shares with us her love for Breakfast Cups! – Nice :)

RECIPES Notebook Update
The plan for the RECIPES notebook was that people would share their favourite meal-time recipe – everyone has a favourite recipe right? whether it's a family tradition or a good old classic that never fails, it's a dish that means something to you. We hope as RECIPES' pages are getting filled that you enjoy the read and can try something new from our list of favourite ingredients and cooking styles from RECIPES participants.

Notebook RECIPES left my hands on Tuesday 28th August 2012 with one of my all-time favourite bread recipe – heart shaped cinnamon buns – you can read my blog post here. I didn't have enough paper space to write on so I had to improvise – RECIPE notebookers will see this when they recieve it :)

My notebook partner was Dan Mager (twitter: @magerzoid), who shared with us his meal time favourite of Beef Bourguignon accompanied with entertaining doodles and captions (you can see his RECIPE pages on the Travelling Notebooks Pinterest here). 

We then saw the notebook going to the lovely Elizabeth (twitter: @rosalilium_) – who shared with us her love for Breakfast Cups, you can read her blog post about her Travelling notebook experience and what she did in her pages on her blog rosalilium.com here. A big thank you to Dan and Elizabeth for their participation and sharing their tasty recipes with us in their own unique way.

Currently RECIPES is now curently with notebook recipient #4, Keri Rowsell (twitter: @lilMissHungry) – and no doubt Keri will having something deliciously filling worth sharing! (we'll keep you posted.

We love projects like this because it helps you/us to 'Enjoy the little things' that makes life interesting and meaningful. The simplicity of writing – seeing handwritten type – it's become a rarity nowadays and, don't we all wish we could make time to do more creative things and learn new skills? Most of us feel like our days are filled with family commitments, work and a bit like we're on a a never ending production line (often repetitive too).
