The recipe notebook: an emotional object
Paper recipe notebooks are a common part of family kitchens.
They contain handwritten notes, stains, and recipes passed down through generations.
They carry strong sentimental value.
But a fragile and limited medium
Paper deteriorates over time due to humidity, grease, and natural wear.
A lost or damaged recipe is often gone forever.
It is also difficult to organize or search through.
- Risk of loss or destruction
- No automatic backup
- Slow manual search
- No easy duplication
A major overlooked issue: transmission
Family recipes are often scattered across multiple notebooks.
When a notebook is lost, part of the culinary heritage disappears.
Transmission becomes difficult or impossible.
Kulinia: preserving and structuring recipes
