Let’s make it.

  1. A favorite recipe reference beside a blank card, ready to be copied.

    Choose a recipe

    Choose a recipe someone in the group actually makes. Ask them to confirm the ingredients and method.

  2. A handwritten recipe card with ingredients and a method.

    Write it clearly

    Write the recipe clearly on one side of a card; use a second card if it needs more room.

  3. A recipe card illustrated with an ingredient or serving bowl and a short memory.

    Illustrate the memory

    Illustrate a favorite ingredient or serving bowl on the reverse and add a short story about when you eat it.

  4. Dated recipe cards with the cook credited, gathered in a labeled envelope.

    Keep or share

    Date the cards, credit the cook and store them in a labeled envelope. Make a copy for someone you love.

A little help: This is a paper project. If you also cook, check allergies and let an adult handle heat and sharp tools.

KEEP THE GOOD TIME GOING
