recipe collection

Bound cooking instructions

A recipe collection is a gathered set of recipes, whether in a cookbook, a box of index cards, a folder of clippings, or a digital archive.

The term emphasizes the assembled whole rather than individual recipes: She inherited her grandmother's recipe collection.

Recipe collections often reflect personal taste, family tradition, or culinary focus: a recipe collection devoted to Southern desserts.
