I always like it because it gives the bride-to-be some "real" food to know how to cook as opposed to the sometimes difficult (but delicious!) things in the fancy cookbooks we all end up registering for (or getting either way.)

My MOH did this for me at a shower. She had sent pages to everyone attending, and she put them in the looseleaf cookbook for me as a gift from everyone (along with more blank pages). Most of my friends cook very well, and contributed a really good recipe. But one - YIKES! Her family owned a restaurant, so she had never really learned to cook. On her page, she wrote: "Reservations", then added a long list of takeout places. To this day, I'll say, "we're having Meg's Speciality for dinner"!
On a more serious note, I like the idea of a planner that entails more than the wedding (place settings, etc). I really put mine to good use!
