  • I am currently using a laptop from the school where I work, so I have mine on a USB memory stick for ease of use and regularly copy them to a CD-RW for security. Which reminds me ...

    I suppose that I really ought to upload them to my personal website, but there are now so many of them!

    I just opened a folder in 'My Documents' and called it 'My Recipes'.

    As Stephen says, you can save it to a usb memory stick or CD-RW to prevent total loss ,in case your hard-drive goes down.

    I've also printed off a few of the favourites and keep them in plastic pockets inside a project folder with a clear cover. It fits nicely in my recipe holder thing and easily wiped if I manage to splash it with cake mix or grease :).
  • Hello.

    I wonder if anyone here can help me. I have loads of pieces of paper with recipes on . I'd love to put them together on the computer so that I can throw out the pieces of scrappy paper and also have them all in one place.

    Does anyone know of a good website that offers this?

    Thank you in advance.

    I'll merge this into the existing thread where you asked this question before ;)

    I have done a search, but nothing relevant came up - as always, merge/move if necessary

    I am looking for a recipe software programme - one where I can input all my recipes which I have collected over the years. Then I would like to be able to search by ingredient. I can't seem to find anything that will do this - I have tried Recipe Centre, but it doesn't install correctly and has some serious compatibility issues.

    If necessary, I can create a database using Access but am unsure how to do this so would really like to get something ready-made. Don't mind if I have to pay for it as long as it works. Any recommendations? Thanks :)

    Hi blairweech,

    I just keep mine in a folder in my documents. But if you want an online facility there are some links on this thread that may help:

    I'll add your thread to it once you've had some more suggestions to keep the ideas together.

    I use treepad to organise mine. It is a bit like a family tree so you can have a 'node' for soups for instance and have all the soup recipes stored under there. It makes more sense if you look at it as it is a bit hard to explain. I've used this for ages to organise my recipes and other household related stuff

    There is a freeware version which is free to download
