How to create a personal recipe book
It made me
happy
 "I'm glad I did this."
How I did it: I did this as a gift for my daughters last Christmas after my mother died. I gathered all the recipes my mother had sent me over the years and rather than type them up I just photo-copied them. This preserved her recognizable hand and the little comments she would make on each one. I added the recipes I made regularly as my girls were growing up and put in a few new ones. I typed these up. I also added in a couple from my mother-in-law and other relatives. I printed out a photo I took the first year I had Mom with me. She took a knife to a head of red cabbage but couldn't cut it. The knife was just sticking out of it looking scary. I wrote a forward about the recipes and added a journal entry I'd written some months before about contemplating the line of life as passed from mother to daughter. When my girls saw what I had made them they both laughed at the cover photo while tears streamed down their cheeks. Both confess to using it all the time. Lessons & tips: Let Kinko's bind the books for you. They'll look much better, last longer and you'll be happier with the result. Try to organize it roughly in groups of recipes that are similar such as "sweets" or "salads" It will be more useful. Don't sweat the small stuff. If you leave out a recipe, it can be written in, or tucked in. A misspelling? Forget it. This is a labor of love.

How I did it: It is super easy. Even a preschool kid can do it!I just searched the internet for my long-time favorite recipes. Then I printed the recipes out and pasted them in one personalized cookbook!My own cookbook came in handy during my sisters wedding. All the recipes we prepared were from my collection.Righteous!

andrea it's time i got back to the good life
How I did it: Bought a blank recipe bookCopied recipes from random emails of my favorite recipes from myself and friendsWent over to the 'rents house and asked for their recipes. This was the best part of the process as it resulted in boxes of old recipe cards from generations past. I even got a casserole recipe from my GREAT grandmother!Then the hard part: copying down all the recipes by hand. Really connected me with the great women… Read how I did it…
optimistic_girl reading books on banking and current world situations
How I did it: One of the other favorite things I love to do most is baking cakes and I usually achieves it. I went to baking class and took all the recipes I learn compile it in a file together with my mom recipes.So, each time I want to bake a cake, I can just take it out and choose which I want to bake for any special occasions.

My goal for this summer is to gather all the family recipes and finally put together a cookbook. From one side of the family I’m hoping to gather all the down south home-cooking loosen your belt recipes and from the other side of the family some good ole Czech recipes. I will also include some recipes that i have stumbled across and tweaked to my liking.
I would like to create a collection of recipes that I can use for my business. Gather recipes that have turned out a success in the past, and more of my favourite recipes.
My girlfriend and I wanted to do this and we finally got a book to hold the recipes. Now to fill it with good food!

I need to go to the dollar store and buy a binder so i can organize all these recipes
I’m currently working on a cookbook of my great-grandmother’s recipes. It’s taking me forever! I’ve been at it, on and off – mostly off, for 3 years. I’m trying to get it done in the next month. My grandma found out her cancer is back and we’re not sure how much longer she has. I want it done before she dies so she can see it.

so I assume I could do the same thing, but first to find the recipes to put in it… I get the feeling this will be much more elaborate than the journal however, since it will have to be sturdier, and be more organized… ohhh this should be fun.
I have been wanting to do this for a while now, as i’m developing a like for cooking and baking..
Yesterday i started a document with a template for each page which I will type out the recipes and print as I go along. Its simple and easy as a lot of my recipes are copied and pasted from various internet sites.
My folder (“cookbook”) has only 9 recipes that i really like at the moment… so there is no need to categorize and organize at this stage. But in future I would like to have sections for chicken/seafood/deserts/etc.
