The bright orange cover can be seen from across the room, so you will not spend long looking for this journal on the kitchen table or at the bottom of your bag. A brass leaf decorates it, and alongside the paper pages it has an LCD writing pad. It measures 14 × 21 cm, is 2 cm thick and weighs about 270 g. In the kitchen, it has a good spot next to the fridge or on the table.
A shopping list that never gets crumpled
The weekly shopping list is in the right place on the LCD writing pad. During the day, write down with a pen whatever has run out, and the list stays there until you clear it, even for days. In the shop, just open the journal and there it is. After the shopping, clear it with a button and start a new one. No more scraps of paper left on the fridge. If several people live in the house, anyone can add what they think has run out.
Recipes go on paper
A tried and tested recipe, the quantities for a family cake, or how many jars of each preserve you made are worth writing on the paper pages, where they will stay. A year from now, you will still know how many jars of apricot jam last year's crop gave you. Next to a recipe, you can also note who liked it best.
A note on the pad disappears when you clear it, so decide each time what goes on the pad and what on paper.
14 × 21 centimetres
The journal is roughly the size of a school exercise book. It fits in a kitchen drawer or a handbag, so you can take it to the market too. At about 270 g, it adds nothing to the weight of your basket.
It also makes a good gift for someone who cooks a lot, or who is setting up their first kitchen.
