For most people, food isn't just about the food. There are so many recipes that I make that bring back memories. Whether it's my grandmother's sugar cookies, my other grandmother's sausage gravy, or my father's spam, taters, and eggs, a simple recipe can really take you to another time.

Recipe Book with Cookies and Milk

Through our Mini Chef Mondays series, we've been creating our own memories while enjoying some tasty food.

Lily & Val sent us a beautiful cookbook that is perfect for recording our recipes and really turning them into a keepsake. The Keepsake Kitchen Diary™ is a cookbook and a journal.

The Keepsake Kitchen Diary

The Keepsake Kitchen Diary™ includes room for up to 200 recipes, divided into six sections: starters, soups/salads, main courses, side dishes, desserts and miscellaneous. Before each section, there is a recipe index (that you create yourself, of course), a beautiful hand-drawn illustration, and useful cooking tips (ingredient substitutions, calorie guide, meat roasting guide, and more).

Inside Keepsake Kitchen Diary

This is a cookbook that's built to be used. The durable binding and coated covers make sure that you're able to keep it for years and pass it down. The front and back cover have pockets for storing photos and special tokens.

I have a few recipes of my grandmothers that are in her handwriting and I love that. There's just something special about reading a recipe and touching the same card that she wrote and used. I love that my boys will be able to have a cookbook full of memories that will also be in my handwriting.

Illustrations in Kitchen Keepsake Diary

The book also includes 12 beautifully illustrated tear-out recipe cards, so you can share!

If you're looking for a unique gift that can really be used, you've found it! Perfect for a new mom, bridal shower, wedding gifts, graduation, you name it: who wouldn't love a recipe book that you can fill with all of the memories that comes with each delicious dish?!?

Kitchen Keepsake Diary

Lily & Val was kind enough to provide a Kitchen Keepsake Diary for giveaway!
