Or you could just download an One Page Cookbook as I did ! (Just google for One Page Cookbooks) !

I just type up the magazine recipes and put them into a binder with page protectors, but I took it one step further. One day last summer I gathered ALL my cookbooks and went through them and wrote down the title/page number/type of recipes I knew our famiy would like. Then I made a spreadsheet and printed it out and put it at the front of my binder. So all of my chicken recipe titles from all of my cookbooks are on one page, desserts, beef, salads, pork, etc. All I have to do is scan the page for something I think sounds good and then just pull the cookbook that it’s in. Sort of a card catelog of recipes.

These are great ideas for a homemade cookbook. I’ve been collecting and tweaking recipes for years to suit my taste. If you want to share the recipes you love with your friends and family, why not create your own one-of-a-kind cookbook, have it printed and give them to people you love? It looks professional and is very cost-effective; you could do a print on demand (POD) for about $6.00 a book. You could also do an offset printing for much less per book except you’d have to order a minimum number of cookbooks. I’ve self-published four cookbooks and now have a cookbook under contract with a publisher. Please visit my website at http://www.recipeforacookbook.com or email me and I’d be happy to give you more information.

Leslie – that’s a great idea too. The only thing is that I like having the visuals, they inspire me to actually cook. But if you don’t need visual help, or need to save magazines, then this is a cool idea.

I use an idea my mom gave me. I have a 4 x 6 flipping photo album that has legs and stands up. I print my recipes in 4 x 6 size and put them in the album. The pages are made of plastic so no spilling worries, and the album stands so it makes cooking easier because I don’t have to keep bending over a cookbook.

HA! I beat you (for once). My psychic powers worked in my favor this time. Oh ho ho. You could post on the word thing – I do that to, like if someone tells me a recipe, or if I check out a cookbook at the library.

I was just working on something similar for Robust Cooking. I also save recipes into Word, then print them out several (similar) recipes to a page (front and back) to add to my homemade magazine cookbook. Now you realize I’m just going to link to your post since you did all the work:)
