Researching Recipes – September 20, 2008

Hey Young Chefs!

Here I am looking up recipes in Rachael Ray’s Yum-O Family Cookbook. I really like Rachael Ray because her recipes are quick, easy and fun. I am writing down “Food Notes” on the recipes I like best. I mark the pages with colored Post-It flags so I can remember which page the recipe is on.

If you want to keep a “Food Notes” journal, you’ll need a notebook. I use a small notebook to travel with. It fits in my pocket or my purse. This way, I can take “Food Notes” wherever I go. In your “Food Notes” journal, write down your recipe ideas, favorite cookbooks, ingredients, and even shopping lists. One day, maybe your “Food Notes” will turn into a cookbook!

Get to researching. Get to writing. Get creative in the kitchen!
