The letterpress business 1canoe2 makes some appealing gifts for cooks who haven’t yet entered the digital age or for those who prefer analog when it comes to their kitchens. Everything is printed on an old Chandler & Price letterpress in a big red barn in mid-Missouri.

Some people like recipe boxes. Others prefer to keep recipes in binders. 1canoe2 has letterpress versions for both kinds of cooks.
