cookbooks & recipes Colleen

[Guest guest]

Colleen my dahlink! I do the same thing. Write on the pages next to the recipe

(good, bad, made it and tossed). I sure don't want to make a bad meal twice

from the same recipe.

 

Now when I make a dish out of a cookbook, I will place a post it note on that

page. I will photocopy the recipe and tape in my personal book filled with

recipes or I will post it to the group then print the recipe and place in my

book. I have 2 books I've filled with recipes for desserts and 3 for other type

dishes. I have stacks of recipes to post and tape into my books but one day I

will get this done.

Ask away, we are more than happy to help you.

Smiles, Donna

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.
