A keepsake worth passing on.

Recipes Passed Down by Write To Me is a guided journal designed to hold generations of treasured recipes: the ones shared between friends, passed down from grandparents or scribbled in the margins of an old cookbook. Whether you are gathering meals made with love or gifting it to someone starting their own recipe legacy, it is the book that keeps your favourite flavours alive. Explore more heirloom journals in our Write To Me collection.

Each page has space for one recipe, with prompts for its name, who it is from, its history, tips and advice, ingredients and method. With a contents page and numbered pages for easy reference, it becomes a practical heirloom and a time capsule of your family's cooking. For a smaller everyday companion, pair it with the Recipe Journal in Oatmeal.

Why You'll Love It

  • Space for 94 handwritten recipes, one per page
  • Prompts for the story behind each dish, not just the method
  • Contents page and numbered pages for quick lookup
  • Linen hardcover with embossed title and spine
  • Lays flat on the bench while you cook

FAQs

How many recipes can it hold?
There is space for 94 recipes across 96 pages, with a contents page and numbered pages for easy referencing.

Does it lie flat while I write?
Yes. The case-bound, lay-flat binding keeps it open on the bench while you cook or copy across treasured recipes.

Is it a good heirloom gift?
Yes. It is designed to preserve handwritten family recipes for generations, which makes it a favourite for weddings, housewarmings and milestones.

Do you stock a green version?
This journal comes in grey. If you would prefer a deeper green, our olive linen Recipe Journal is a separate Write To Me book with the same heirloom feel.

What pen works best?
A ballpoint pen is recommended for the smoothest writing on the 120gsm pages.

Styling Tips

Lean it upright on open shelving beside a stack of cookbooks and a small vase of stems for a soft, lived-in kitchen moment. Style it flat on the bench with a lit candle and a linen tea towel for a slow Sunday baking scene. For gifting, wrap it with twine and tuck a handwritten family recipe inside the first page as a starting point.
