It could be a family secret finally divulged, a scribbled interpretation of something seen on TV, even a culinary experiment long since forgotten. What happens to these recipes when the books are passed on?   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBy day, Michael Popek works in his family’s used bookstore. By night, he’s the voyeuristic force behind the websites ForgottenBookmarks and HandwrittenRecipes, where he shares the weird, wonderful objects he has found among the stacks at his store.   \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eHandwritten Recipes\u003c\/i\u003e is a treasury of Michael’s most fascinating found recipes.
