Creating a cookbook?

[Guest guest]

Hi all,

 

Imagine you have a list of recipes (say 100 or 200, but the number

doesn't really matter). The list is just a mixture of recipes (meat,

veg, dips, desserts, beverages, ethnic, diabetic, etc).

 

How would you sort out the list to create a cookbook out of all these

different recipes? Would you create just one cookbook or many cookbooks?

 

Would you first categorize recipes by category then by cuisine, or by

cuisine first then by category?

 

I'm interested to know how you people create your cookbooks (not

necessarily using software).

 

Regards,

Max

I'd alphabetize by name then cross reference the heck out of the

recipes based on ingredients, cooking time, rating, and complementary

recipes for making meals.

 

I figure, the way I find the recipes I want is just as important as

how I store them so I'd make them work together. Nothing more

annoying to me than trying to find a recipe for a soup that someone

stored as an appetizer when, to me, it's a meal in and of itself.
