I use a purpose-built Access database. I have fields which allow
me to sort the recipes by source, type, primary ingredient,
nationaility, and name.

The recipe itself is in a text field which allows me to cut and
paste from my favorite text editor (usually, I use NoteTab).

I've built report files which allow me to create lists or
compilations pretty simply. Doing an actual cookbook, though,
can be more work.
