Make cooking easier with this DIY foldable recipe book stand! Free build plans are included to keep recipes propped up and ready to go.

I want to start eating healthier. We don’t currently eat lousy food, but we could make better food choices. This begins with cooking more. Ugh!
I designed a folding cookbook stand to help me stay motivated.
I don’t have much cabinet space, so I had to find something that wouldn’t take up much space. Thus, this foldable recipe stand was born!

Final Thoughts
I am absolutely in love! Now, I want to cook just to use my handy book holder!
It folds flat for easy storage in a cupboard or drawer. It is so compact that I keep it underneath the plates.

I often use a tablet, cookbook, or printed sheet to follow recipes. This recipe stand accommodates all of those options, making it very versatile.
