What’s even better is that I tear recipes and ideas out of each issue (a ritual that I adore) and store them in a manila folder. Then, on days when I am feeling adventurous and need inspiration, I open said manila folder and flip through the pages. The folder gets fuller with each passing month and it never fails to offer me exactly what I need.

Notes: Make sure to use enough butter when greasing the muffin tin and remove popovers from tin as soon as they’re done baking - they tend to stick.

    I used to tear pages from magazines, too! Never had a manilla folder, though. I get my cooking inspiration first and foremost from the seasons — whatever looks best at the greenmarket will be the main ingredient in my next kitchen adventure. I also read a lot of blogs and bookmark my faves…so I guess you could say I have an electronic manilla folder ;)
