Giraffe Recipe Book Stand
This gorgeous hand-carved mango wood recipe book stand features a giraffe and tree design. It is an ideal addition to your kitchen making you cook like a chef in your own home! it was carved by the master woodcarvers of Saharanpur. it has an adjustable stand on a hinged back that allows for 3 different angles. Did you know, mango wood is a fast-growing wood and therefore a sustainable material? It takes approximately 7 to 10 years to grow which is much less than comparable hardwoods, size: 19cm x 27cm. Depth of book space 4.5cm, made in India.
I personally have one of these in my kitchen and I truly love it, it holds the book open for me and also means that I can use a cookbook instead of relying heavily on my phone. The main problem that this solves is when you place a book on the side, then start cooking, it is easy for the book to get damaged, wet even. With this cookbook stand, the book is upright and is no longer low down where you are doing the chopping of vegetables.
