organize recipes and compile "cookbook"

So I’m having trouble with the fact that I have all sorts of recipes in my recipe folder… printed pages, magazine clippings, hand-written cards… all in different sizes and with various food-stains on them.

I’ve decided I’m going to lay out a nice looking, uniform page in illustrator or InDesign (maybe vary the pages by color for categories) and then transcribe all my recipes into these pages, put them in plastic sleeves and have a really nice, tidy book when I’m done. This way, I can keep adding pages as I decide which recipes are “keepers” and it will be consistent.
