Never get your cookbook messy again with this simple tip

If you have ever attempted to make a dish that can get a bit messy but is too complicated to know off by heart, you may have turned to a trusted cookbook; perhaps it is frayed and well loved or new and glossy. It can be very hard to keep the book out of harms way especially cooking something like spaghetti bolognese where sauce usually ends up on everything. If you are sick of smearing sauce or other food on your cookbooks and recipe cards this tip is for you!

Simply get an old coat hanger and use the clips at either end to keep the book open on the page you desire and then hang it from a cabinet knob that is eye- level.
