How to use

Type or write — your choice.

  1. Open the PDF in any PDF viewer (browser, Preview, Acrobat).
  2. Type directly into the Recipe For, Servings, and Ingredients & Directionsform fields — every template is fillable. Saving a filled copy works in Acrobat or with “Print to PDF.”
  3. Print on heavy stock — local paper stores carry “specialty board” that makes very durable cards. Set your printer to actual size (no scaling). Or print it blank and write the recipe in by hand for that handwritten-card feel.
Need a bigger size? Our notebook-sized 8.5×11 recipe cards also include room for a photo of the finished dish.
