I wanted a huge, practical recipe book that I could alter at will and that centered on the foods I love. I came up with the format – I would need a binder, lots of printer paper, and page dividers. I think using plastic page protectors helps, considering how messy cooking is. I planned out the categories based on cookbooks I already own. Lastly, I was finally able to print down all of the saved recipes I had on my computer and file them in the binder.
I also made a color-coded sticker system that helped to identify certain things – like if a recipe was particularly healthy, expensive, quick to make, or required freezing.
The best part is that it is forever alterable… I definitely suggest getting the biggest binder you can find!
