Guest guest Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Hi All I am just so full of questions. LOL (remember me? the non-cook trying to cook?) My household has tons of cookbooks. I look through them and make a recipe. The family may pronounce it great or horrible and I write on the recipe page in pencil that we loved it, liked it, or hated it. That way I will remember which ones not to make again! LOL My question is this -- How does one keep track of which cookbook the recipes are in? I find that I will want to go back and make something again, only to NOT be able to find the recipe again. Do I copy every recipe we love into a separate notebook? The other day I spent 2 hours looking through cookbooks for a specific recipe and never did find it. (It took a lot of time since I couldn't remember the recipe's name and they all have such " interesting " names.) Any pointers would be appreciated.

Guest guest Posted December 18, 2005 Report Share Posted December 18, 2005 Colleen, here is a suggestion for keeping track of recipes. Create a text file where you list recipes and their source and page number. If you want to get fancier, you could do the same thing in a spread sheet or data base program. Using a database program you could run " queries " by type of recipe and also sort by name or date entered. from Maida Citizens for Pets in Condos, http://www.petsincondos.org South Florida Vegetarian Events, http://www.soflavegevents.net Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
