Beautiful books...

Make a feature of your recipe books by displaying them on a book shelf in your kitchen... add kitchen collectables to create a homely country look...

Alternatively, if you have a large worktop space in your kitchen, you could leave a small space for a display of cookbooks... Place your recipe books in a book rack or between two sturdy book ends for a modern country home feel ...
