Can't you just go on the website?

His missus won't let him go on the internet any more.
Not after she came home early from work that time he was 'off sick'.

I don't have a computer in my kitchen
or a printer

and they don't have all the recipes immediately, plus there is a load of other stuff that doesn't go on there. They have the main recipes, but they'll often have a page that suggest 10 things to do with a vegetable or something, stuff like that.

I only know 5 things to do with a vegetable...

This is what a smartphone is for
I look up the recipe on my PC, bookmark it on delicious, then open the page on my phone to carry around in the kitchen.

Easy peasy.

The thing that I love about cooking, for me, is that it's away from technology.
As much as I'm an advocate of Kindle and the web, sometimes print and a pen so you can jolt down notes is so much better.

I always make scribbly notes so that it feels like it's my recipe

( Roota zweeeeeoooooowm, Tue 22 Feb 2011, 12:29, Reply)

My mother does this.
There are Christmas cake recipes with 'NOT THIS ONE!' next to it, and a hilarious stew one that reads 'tiny and vile'.

When my Mum died, there was an argument about which of us would get her handwritten cookbook
Tatty as fuck, half the pages falling out, but worth it's weight in gold to us.

My sister has it now, I doubt she's used it in the lat 5 years.

I can't think of anything I would want more in the world if Ma' went than a book of recipies the way she does things.
even if it's photocopies of other books with little notes in.

She had things like Banoffee pie, with chunks of Mars bar in there, fucking spectacular

Did you see the Banoffee pie that Jamie Oliver did on sunday? de-fucking-lish.

( G/PP 💩💩💩💩💩&#128, Tue 22 Feb 2011, 13:02, Reply)

I did, looked quick, easy and pretty tasty.

( Monty Boyce, My cheese game is strong, Tue 22 Feb 2011, 13:04, Reply)

can you photocopy it?
not the same, but something.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Tue 22 Feb 2011, 12:47, Reply)

If I can get my hands on it, I'll just take it off her outright
Then she can have the copies, haha
