The Moleskine Passions Recipe Journal is a well made diary sized (5"x8¼") notebook printed on medium/light weight acid free paper with 240 total pages. It contains sections for most typical areas of cooking; Appetizers, First Course, Main Dishes, Deserts, etc. plus several unlabeled sections for the owner to personalize. In addition there are weight, measure and temperature conversion charts, produce and fruit harvest/ripeness charts, food information charts and sections for notes, event or party planning. The cover is cleverly embossed with kitchen utensils and includes an elastic strap to keep the journal securely closed.

I have to be honest - I already have quite a collection of Moleskine notebooks and love them all. However, I will say that I found this recipe journal to be the perfect companion. I consider myself a home cook with a penchant for collecting, organizing and categorizing my recipes into favorites folders within Firefox.

I really love the Moleskine Recipe Journal, I come from a family that loves to cook, but we each have our own twist on the same recipes.

These sections are great for small recipes or notes, but I would much rather have more of the in depth pages that sold me on this journal in the first place.
