There's a Cookbook Holder in Your Clothes Closet

I just read a neat idea for a cookbook holder in The Itty Bitty Kitchen Handbook.

Take a pants hanger with clips and use the clips to hold the book open to the proper page. Then hang the hanger from a cabinet door knob - or install a removable hook at just the right height.

This obviously wouldn't work for big hardcover cookbooks - but it seems to work very nicely for small paperbacks. And this means the cookbook doesn't take up valuable counter space!
