It may be the digital age, but we’re still here: those of us who love pulling out our cookbooks and thumbing through to find our favorite pages wrinkled by steam, splatters, and spice, palimpsests of meals past.
Apart from the sense of lore, it’s practical too. Cookbooks don’t run out of batteries or go to sleep, and their recipes don’t disappear from the internet.
For making those pages just a bit more legible as you chop and stir, we love a good cookbook stand. Our favorite is the Clear Solutions Original Hinged Cookbook Holder, which has a sturdy adjustable base, a hinged splatter shield, and simple, old-world charm.
