Recepta - Wooden Cookbook Stand

Two pieces of stained wood that slot together into an X and hold a cookbook open at reading height. Pull them apart and the whole thing stores flat.

• Holds a book open at reading angle, hands free
• Takes books up to 35 cm tall and 3.7 cm thick
• Slots apart to store flat in a drawer
• Solid wood with a smooth, rounded edge
• Also works for a tablet or a picture

Cooking from a book means one of two things: holding the pages down with a jar, or giving up and propping the book against the kettle where you cannot read it. This is the simple fix. Two flat pieces of stained wood slot together into a cross, and the front lip catches the bottom edge of the book so the pages stay open at an angle you can actually read from across a worktop. It takes a heavy hardback - up to 35 cm tall and 3.7 cm thick - which covers most of the doorstop cookbooks people own. When you are done it pulls apart into two flat boards and slides into a drawer, which is the difference between a stand you keep and a stand that lives in a cupboard because it is too bulky to bother with. The edges are sanded round, and the same shape works just as well for a tablet propped up for a recipe video.

Slots together, no hinges
Two pieces, no screws and no hardware to work loose. It goes together in a second and comes apart just as fast.

Sized for real cookbooks
Up to 35 cm tall and 3.7 cm thick. The thick hardbacks are exactly the ones that will not stay open on their own.

Stores flat
Two boards in a drawer. A stand you can put away is a stand you will actually use.
