Preserve originals without sacrificing access

Scan stained cards, fragile notes, and cookbook annotations at high resolution. Place the original in an archival sleeve or separate envelope and use the printed scan on the working page.

Record practical corrections

Add oven differences, ingredient substitutions, pan size, servings, and the date last tested. A beautiful recipe without these details may be difficult for the next person to reproduce.

Use bakery paper as structure

Croissants, bread, checks, labels, and utensils can identify sections or frame photographs. Keep ingredient and method areas plain enough to read quickly with messy hands.

Use this as a mini worksheet

Who taught this recipe? When do we make it? What has changed? Which detail cannot be left out?
