Keep every family recipe in one beautiful, matching set
Grandma’s cake shouldn’t live on a sticky note. The Orange Grove Recipe Card Kit gives your favourite recipes a home that looks lovely on the counter and holds up in a busy kitchen.
The design is soft and fresh. Hand-painted style oranges, sage leaves and little white blossoms sit in the corner, with clean, easy-to-read type everywhere else. It feels like summer, without getting in the way of the recipe.
Why this kit is different
Lots of recipe cards look nice and then fall short the moment you use them. The lines run out. There’s no back. You can’t type on them, or you need an online account just to open the file. This kit fixes all of that.
- Front and back on every card. Directions continue on the back, so you never squeeze a recipe into tiny writing again.
- Type it or write it. The fillable version has soft boxes made for typing. The lined version has proper lines for pens. Typed text never sits awkwardly on top of ruled lines.
- Works offline. Fill the PDFs in free Adobe Acrobat Reader. No login, no expiry date, no internet needed after download.
- Four sizes. 4×6 and 5×7 cards for recipe boxes, plus full US Letter and A4 pages for binders.
- Print-at-home sheets. Two 4×6 cards per page with crop marks, so you save paper and cut perfectly straight.
What’s on each card
Front: recipe name (long titles shrink to fit as you type), from the kitchen of, prep time, cook time, servings, oven temperature, ingredients and directions side by side.
Back: directions continued, a clickable 5-star rating, 6 category tick boxes (breakfast, mains, sides, baking, desserts, drinks) and a notes box for swaps, tips and who loved it most.
The full Letter and A4 pages add numbered direction lines (1 to 21) on the lined version and a bigger notes area.

Good to know

- Your files are ready to download right after purchase.
- Print as many cards as you like for personal use and gifts.
- Colours can look slightly different on screen and on paper.
- Home printers can’t print to the very edge, so a sliver of the corner art may be trimmed. Printing on larger paper and cutting on the crop marks avoids this.
