Your binder is a place for you to personalise your Great British Chefs profile and save your favourite recipes and pages from around the site. Add your favourites by using the heart, organise them in folders and create your own collections.

You can add any page which has the heart icon in the menu at the top of the page.

The pages which can be added to your binder are: recipes, features, chefs, collections, restaurants and how-to-cook articles

This works slightly differently depending on what type of device you are using. Please find the type of device you have and follow the instructions for adding items.
