Leuchtturm Review

I received this snazzy purple Leuchtturm notebook from Christian at notizbuchblog.de quite a while ago and can’t believe I’m only just now getting around to reviewing it. Leuchtturm appeals to many notebook users because of some neat features other brands don’t include: index pages at the front and pre-numbered pages.

How Chefs Keep Track of Their Recipes

I liked this article: How Professional Chefs Organize Recipes With Digital Devices – WSJ.com. Although the article focuses on digital devices, good old paper notebooks make an appearance: Whether it’s a pile of food-splotched printouts or a cluttered digital desktop, many cooking enthusiasts are swimming in recipes, with no good system for storing them.
