Organizing recipes-ideas?
I have a couple favorite cookbooks in my kitchen, and A LOT of recipes bookmarked on my computer or in my email. I'd like to get all of my favorites in the same place. I was thinking a 3 ring binder with the plastic sleeve things.
How do you organize your recipes? If my computer ever quit working I'd be screwed!
Re: Organizing recipes-ideas?
I have a 3-Ring Binder (or several) for all of my recipes.
I also made a database in excel of all of my recipes and where they are from.
I have a google spreadsheet that includes all of the recipes I want to cook from cookbooks I own and those I've found online. It can be sorted by cuisine, main ingredient, type of dish and season. I like the google doc format because I can access it from work and when I'm working overseas, which allows me to plan parties and meals even when I'm not at home.
I have a recipe box of recipes I've tried and I know work. For the recipes I have not tried, I have a 3 ring binder with folders with different categories (ie desserts, side dishes, soups etc). When I try a recipe, if I like it I copy it onto a recipe card and put it in the box. The recipes I have in my cookbooks I don't do anything with but have bookmarks in the ones I use most often.
