I was so excited when it came in the mail from CSNstore.com. I was immediately impressed with the feel and color of the wood, it felt durable and like it would survive my crazy cooking ways.
I LOVE the rubber-tipped pegs that slide up to hold open the book. The cookbook I use a lot is the cookbook that I put together for myself and the other members of the Cooking Club when we did it the first time around a couple of year ago. I printed the book on Blurb and it is so wonderful except it does not stay open, I should have got it printed with a ringed edge. I usually would use a heavy measuring cup or box of food along one edge to try and keep it open while cooking, but I won't have to do that anymore!
When I was picking out a cook book stand I also had another specification that I required. Whenever I make a new recipe from the Cooking Club, I don't bother printing it out and usually just pull it up in my e-mail on my iPod Touch. So I would usually place my iPod close enough, but far enough away from my crazy splash zone to read the recipe. So I wanted a place where I could set my iPod too... and well since Saturday, now the iPad.
So I am in love with my new Cook Book Stand.Disclaimer: I received this product from CSNstores.com to review and for my own use; but all the above opinions I expressed are totally true as I would not lead my readers astray. (It is on sale for only $25 with free shipping! So worth it)

And don't worry- I will be back with my Time For Tot's Day Next week.. it is spring break, and well we are having a lazy week-and we are at my sister's today.Also the reviews from last month's Cooking Club recipes will be coming on Thursday!! So you still have time to submit your review if you tried one of last month's recipes.
I actually REALLY dislike my cook book stand that I have right now. I could really use a new one! I like how it's wood, which would look great in my kitchen. ;) Thanks for posting your thoughts!
ReplyDeleteI am not a clean as you go cook either! I need to get a cookbook stand so bad but never seem to remember that at the store!
ReplyDeleteI love the cookbook stand! CSN is great! Just love all 2,000 stores! I hope you enjoy a wonderful spring break!
ReplyDeleteThat looks awesome! I would probably have to cook more, in order to justify buying one. How are you liking the iPad?
ReplyDeleteI might have to get one of these! It would be so handy in the kitchen and probably in other places!
ReplyDeleteIt's always fun to play with a new toy! hehehe. And you got two! I don't actually use cookbooks hardly ever, but I have a 4x6 photo album with my favorite recipes in it. It doesn't like to stay open either.
ReplyDeleteI have to agree that does look like the perfect cookbook stand. Neat.
ReplyDeleteOooh love it! I really need a cookbook stand, I get so frustrated with trying to keep cookbooks open to the right page.
ReplyDeleteso true- one can be very particular about his or her cookbook stand! Yours seems perfect- even fits the ipad huh? pretty cool. 2 years ago for my birthday, a very talented friend made me a cookbook stand that could hang and had a coil expander to it so that it would fit all my random sized books. i heart it.
ReplyDeleteooohhh! I could really use one of those! The best recipes have the most splashes on them!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Spring Break, Emmy!
ReplyDeleteAnd did I say, I'm jealous of your iPad?
I didn't... that was me trying to be nice ;)
That looks really neat! Thanks for telling me about the link problem with my giveaway! I fixed it if you want to head back over!!!!
ReplyDeleteoooh, love these. Thanks for the tip. I do clean along the way, but my cookbooks are FAR from safe when I am in the kitchen :-)
ReplyDeleteHmmm, a cookbook stand. What a great idea! I love that it holds your ipad as well. Wonderful! I may have to invest in one of these as well!
