Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 I also use the internet because I find that I only use a few recipes per cookbook. When I find a recipe we all like, I put a copy in a clear sheet protector and into a three ring binder. I just make my own cookbook. It is easy to prop up on a cookbook holder and the pages are protected from splashes and spills. I hope this helps!

Guest guest Posted March 7, 2010 Report Share Posted March 7, 2010 You might try the " cut and paste " method where you " copy " your entire recipe including pictures from its internet page and then " paste " entirely into MS WORD -then you can remove excess spaces and areas you don't care about, re size and remove pictures to make it one page or two then save it into your document folder in sub folders describing the category like fat free, gluten free, PCRM quick start etc -saves tons of typing. You can make notes on subbing vegan ingredients right then. My senior cooking folder has gotten so big I have to periodically back it up on disk or zip drive and start anew Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry " mizfrog1938 " <MizFrog Sun, 07 Mar 2010 15:08:59 Re: Cookbook I've had experience with one of the self-publishing book companies (my brother's autobiography) and it can get really expensive. Also, most of them only print in 300 dpi, and if you have pictures, they are not so good. Or, perhaps you are talking about a different kind of publishing company than I am familiar with. I know there are some that do cookbook publishing for churches and other organizations, but I think they are also expensive. I looked into that once, and they have their own format and will not use anything else. I type all my recipes and put them in 3-ring binders. I have about ten of them. It's MUCH cheaper that way. Printing from the computer wastes a lot of paper and also usually splits recipes over 2 or 3 pages that I can type onto one page. sk , Jae Jones <recyclednew wrote: > > with all the recipes I have I can put together a book with photos and upload > it all to one of those self publishing sites and poof...print on demand > cookbooks!

It is easy to prop up on a cookbook holder and the pages are protected from splashes and spills. =========== this is exactly how I do it as well. I made this ragout last night and it was fabulous. The roasting made such a difference. I also used double the amount of brussel sprouts http://vegandad.blogspot.com/2010/01/roasted-vegetable-ragout.html My local Indian restaurant makes palak (Indian Spinach) for me and I have not been able to duplicate it until now. I found this recipe for Palak Paneer on Recipezaar. I left out all the paneer, curds and other dairy and just made the spinach. OMG it is so good. I simplified the recipe though by sauteing the onions then adding the spices and finally canned tomato and frozen spinach. once that was cooked I used hte immersion blender to blend everything and then added " milk " that I made from cashews, poppy seeds and water. I've served it as a soup, added chickpeas or potatoes and served it over rice. it's yummy no mater which way you eat it Shez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 good idea ----my problem is that I dont trust too much these days and I am afraid that some day the site will go down and there goes all my items -- why I hate to think about putting my graphics and other family pictures up on the web as well. How safe is it being out of your hands?? of course my computer could crash, my backup drive could crash and my back up discs could be no good.......................totally paranoid.....

Guest guest Posted March 8, 2010 Report Share Posted March 8, 2010 I understand your fear! For years I had 3 copies of everything! It was on my computer, backed up on CDs/DVDs and I had printed hard copies of everything. Then one day before I had a chance to back up my latest stuff, computer crashed and it was all gone! At first I was devastated! Then I felt liberated! I had a clean slate to start from! Being an artist who likes to save everything for the next great idea, I sometimes need that clean slate to just start from zero again! I could understand not wanting to loose precious family heirlooms though! lol I don't like loosing my stuff either...has happened to me 3 times now! But I'm a hopeless optimist! lol On Mon, Mar 8, 2010 at 5:12 PM, Patricia A Squyres <p.squyreswrote: > > > good idea ----my problem is that I dont trust too much these days and I am > afraid that some day the site will go down and there goes all my items -- > why I hate to think about putting my graphics and other family pictures up > on the web as well.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2010 Report Share Posted March 9, 2010 Yes, this is the way I do it, copy and paste to Word, then format. , p.squyres wrote: > > You might try the " cut and paste " method where you " copy " your entire recipe including pictures from its internet page and then " paste " entirely into MS WORD -then you can remove excess spaces and areas you don't care about, re size and remove pictures to make it one page or two then save it into your document folder in sub folders describing the category like fat free, gluten free, PCRM quick start etc -saves tons of typing. > You can make notes on subbing vegan ingredients right then. > > My senior cooking folder has gotten so big I have to periodically back it up on disk or zip drive and start anew > Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry > > > " mizfrog1938 " <MizFrog > Sun, 07 Mar 2010 15:08:59 > > Re: Cookbook > > I've had experience with one of the self-publishing book companies (my brother's autobiography) and it can get really expensive.
