Whether you use a cookbook, or a copy of an online recipe, this is a clever way to hang it. You just attach it to a skirt hanger which you hang over the handle of a kitchen cupboard. You can also use a hair elastic, if you need to, to adjust the height. We were previously using a cookbook stand on our kitchen bench top and this is a much better idea because it doesn't take up bench space and you can look at the recipe at eye level.
