Recipe Books/Print-outs

[JamBrit]

I need help....I think I have an addiction to cookbooks and printing recipes and they're piling up at my house...I even have a few books and various printed recipe collections at my bedside for when I have the urge to peruse recipes that I'm probably never gonna cook... I can't bring myself to getting rid of any of them just "in case" I decide to try the recipe! You should how many Indian cookbooks I have....I should be a pro by now... ....Noooottt!! Mi nat even gwine menshan all di spices weh mi ave eena mi cubbard...

Anyhoo, please to tell me I'm not the only one?... Mi a look company...

Re: Recipe Books/Print-outs

Mi ave whole heap to (one time I subscribed to this cooking place that sent you like 10 recipes at a time that you inserted into a binder which dem did sell yuh fe a separate price ) - I try to buy a cook book when i go to places I have never been before - sorta like people collect magnets etc.

What i have been doing in recent years is getting my recipes online and saving in special folders... so I have an extensive collection on my computer...

Jambrit,

I don't think I am as bad off as you. I'm not to the point of addiction. But I do love reading recipies and I have whole heap of them that I have round about the place, on the chance that I may one day try it out.

Me not even gwine chat bout di spices in the cupboard.

Re: Recipe Books/Print-outs

If there is a recipe that I am keenly interested in, I will search for it on the Internet. Then copy and paste into a Word document then save the file to my laptop. I name the document with the category first, for e.g.<span style="font-style: italic"> SOUP - Jamaican Beef.doc</span>. I keep all of these on my laptop (with regular back up) in a folder called RECIPES.

There are other recipes I have that are from books, newspaper, hand-written by a late relative, etc. that I cannot bear to part with. Maybe I should scan these and store on disk? Project for when mi have time

Re: Recipe Books/Print-outs

Peasie I do the same thing, only when I'm looking for a certain recipe, my eyes are caught by others...and well...you know the rest...

You and Jazz gave me an idea though....I need to start saving them to my laptop (now that I have one) instead of printing them out...plus I'll be saving trees/helping the environment!
