12 Sets of Free Printable Recipe Cards and Templates
Many people believe that the Internet has killed the recipe card. But I would like to think otherwise. While many people use online sources for finding and organizing their recipes, there still seems to be a niche for the printable recipe cards.
Printable recipe cards are especially popular for gift giving, such as giving homemade food products along with the recipe printed on a card. So whether you want to put into writing an heirloom recipe, pass cooking instructions to a friend or make an edible gift more meaningful by providing the ingredients and how-to, recipe cards are handy things to have around.
There are plenty of free-to-download printable recipe cards out there that you can use for any of these purposes. In this post, I put together 12 sets that you can download for free. Upon seeing these cards, I am also inspired to make my own sets of printable recipe cards for baked goods like cupcakes and pastries, for fruit juices, shakes and slushy, and maybe cocktails and other alcoholic mixed drinks. Watch out for them.
