Recipe book templates, ready to fill

Every forever.recipes binder shares one clean recipe layout, set for you on each A5 sheet. What you choose is how it starts: the cloth, the label, and the chapter tabs. Here are four starting points, each with a sample binder you can open.

Starting points

Cloth colours

  • TerracottaWarm clay red, the house colour.
  • ForestDeep green, quiet next to herbs and pots.
  • NavyInk blue, the one that hides kitchen splashes.
  • CreamPale linen, for a light and airy shelf.

What every binder has

  • One recipe layout, set for you on every A5 sheet: the number stamp, the ingredients box, the method, and your note in hand lettering.
  • Chapter tabs in six colours, which you can rename, reorder and recolour whenever the binder grows.
  • A contents page and chapter dividers that keep themselves up to date.
  • A print-ready A5 PDF of the whole binder, for any local or online printer.

How to choose

  1. Start with how you cook, not with how it looks. A baker wants Bread and Cakes; a busy household wants 30 minutes and Freezer.
  2. Three or four tabs are plenty on day one. Add one when a recipe has nowhere to go.
  3. Pick the cloth for the shelf it will live on, or for the person who will receive it: cream for a light kitchen, navy for a busy one.
  4. Don't overthink it. A new binder starts with a single Favourites tab, and tabs can be added, renamed, reordered or recoloured at any time.

Quick questions

Is a starting point a locked template?

No. A new binder starts with one tab, Favourites. A starting point is a short list of tabs you add yourself in a minute, and you can rename, reorder or remove them whenever you like. Removing a tab keeps its recipes: they move to the front of the binder, unsorted.

Can I change the cover later?

Yes. Write a new title on the label or pick another cloth at any time. Your recipes, tabs and notes are untouched by the change.

Do starting points affect how the binder prints?

No. Every binder uses the same A5 recipe layout on screen and in the PDF: the contents, a divider for each tab, then each recipe on its own sheet. The tabs you choose become the chapters.
