I could not wait to get the bind it all to make one of these awesome Cased- Jan Tink Recipe Books. Little did I know hers was on the SU on board books :(
This is my first ever bind it all project and I did a lot of cussing My O Wire is too small for this so I will order bigger ones and replace it when they arrive. I used 1/2 in and I think I need at least 1" or bigger ..oh well I'm new to this.
I wanted to make an Italian Cookie recipe book for my mother (who doesn't really need these cas shes a great baker) I sketched the cookies on the chefs tray myself I think its cute.
This is colored with my awesome prisma color pencils and paint thinner. Added brads for the chef buttons. Stamped Bon Appetite in versamark and black embossed it- then pasted it to chip board,
There are 10 Italian cookie recipes inside all tabbed with the round tab punch (wish rak items (thanks ladies- I couldn't do this book without em) Including my absolute fave (Savoiardi) If you are ever in NYC go to Roccos on Bleecker Street-To Die For!
All recipes and tab names are typed on word and printed out for neatness.
The book is 5x5' if anyone is interrested ...
I spent quite a few hours on this project so I don't think I will make any more any time soon but I always loved this Voilà chef and will just draw what I want on the tray to suit my needs.

I've seen other versions of this with tabs for food categories, but I love the fact that this is specific to one thing and how the recipe titles are on the tabs. Sure saves time looking to find the right page. I'm going to have to finally create one of these for myself. Great job.
