What program do you keep you recipes on?
After I noticed I've lost all mt recipes, again, largerly my fault cause I
dont have a central place to store them. I'm ready to invest in a compter program, if there isnt a free one that will store my recipes. |

You just make a table and "paste" the section or page of the file into the table and when you click on the cell, it opens Word, opens the file, shows that page. The Access table has headings for Name, Category, Main Ingredient, Source,and finally the recipe. I keep things backed up every couple of months to a CD. |

If you are real bored, make a column next to the amounts to create 1/2, 2x, 3x batches of things like sauce, rub, etc. The first column in the following example is just a multiple of the partial batch value (0.5) and the normal batch quantity. Example ================================================== ====== Barbecue Peach Salsa p226 of Paul Kirk's Championship BBQ Sauces partial full 0.5 batch 1.75 3.5 cups yield 1 2 cups diced peaches ..5 1 cups diced roma tomatoes ..125 .25 cups sugar ..125 .25 cups clover honey ..125 .25 cups white vinegar ..5 1 Tbsp minced jalapeno 1 2 tsp chili powder 1 2 cloves garlic, pressed ..5 1 tsp salt ..25 .5 tsp white pepper combine all ingredients and let flavors mingle for several hours in the fridge, or eat right away. ================================================== ============ I print these out and keep them in a folder handy in the kitchen. As I make alterations, notes and spill stuff on the printout, I update the spreadsheet and print out a fresh copy. This keeps my cookbooks clean and I don't have to try and hold open a page while stirring hot bubbling bbq sauce. Also handy to give out to friends who want a copy of the recipe. As someone else stated, backup your files to prevent data loss. -- George B.

It ain't all that expensive and it's the best. I have a couple of others including "On The Menu". The latter is way too cumbersome. I seldom use a program any- more. I cut and paste recipies into a directory named (are you ready for this) recipies. -- M&M ("When You're Over The Hill You Pick Up Speed") -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

Easy to customize, and add categories and personal cookbooks. Can import recipes from any text based document as well. I'm going on 8 years with it and does the job for me. Moo Pierre |

When someone wants one of my recipes, I just print it from my zip disk or email it to them. I only have to type the recipe once. After that it's copy, paste, print, attach whatever and someone has a copy. Burbank Tony I am in shape. Round is a shape. |

Amen to that. I use a Maxtor external hard drive connected via USB 2.0. Copy functions are quick and painless. Plus, it's easy to take it with me. |
