How do you organize your recipes?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
I am torn. I used to save my old issues of “Gourmet”, “Bon Appetit” and “Martha Stewart” for recipes and ideas. When I finally began running out of shelf space I changed my strategy. Instead of keeping the whole magazine I cut out only favorite recipes.
I tried taping them in a book, trying to organize them by courses or ingredients. Needless to say, I fell hopelessly behind and ended up stuffing them in a folder. I finally weeded through that and am now trying to keep them organized in an accordion folder, like one used for bills, but I can’t keep up with that all the time either.
I like to keep new recipes around to be able to update my culinary repertoire, but it’s like everything else, I feel like I am being buried by paper. How do you keep it under control? Are you still holding on to favorite magazines? Have you got a system that you can pass on to help me, and others I’m sure, to help us stay organized?
