I remember in the old days of working in offices, some of the women and maybe a couple of men would put together favorite recipes to share, photocopy, bind and give to each other.  Some fundraisers even revolved around collecting recipes and selling it in a cookbook format.  Well just found out about a new venture in beta that allows you to cull recipes from various cooking sites and get it printed and bound.   It looks like this would also make a great bridal shower gift or high school/college graduation gift.

The Secret World of… | Food Wine and Dining

Sensuality, indulgence, appetite, flavor, aesthetics, complements and contradictions, manners, imagination, memory and emotions, subjectivity and solipsism, truth, lies, denial, generosity and betrayal, harmony and friendship, closure, new selves – dining embraces all of these things. And all within a setting of elegance and ceremony. Course following course of sumptuous dishes and splendid wines, the finest tableware and accoutrements, conversation fascinating and intimate, the courtly deference of restaurant staff, even perhaps the admiration of other diners. How could you not succumb to such an atmosphere?
