How to organize your family recipes
Updated
To organize your family recipes, create one notebook per person or per side of the family, then folders inside: starters, main dishes, desserts. Add a few tags to each recipe so you can find it quickly with the search.
The best way to organize is the one that suits you. Here are a few ideas to get started.
One notebook per… whatever you like
- Per person: "Grandma's recipes", "Dad's recipes".
- Per side of the family: Mom's side, Dad's side.
- Per era or occasion: Christmas recipes, summer recipes.
Each notebook has its own cover, a title, a subtitle and a dedication on the first page.
Folders in each notebook
Inside a notebook, create folders, and even folders within folders:
- Starters, main dishes, desserts.
- Sweet, savory.
- The classics, the recipes to try.
Tags to find everything
Add a few tags to each recipe, like "dessert", "winter" or "quick". The search finds a recipe by its title, its ingredients or its tags.
Two ways to read
- As a list: handy for looking up a recipe and cooking.
- In book mode: you turn the pages, just like in the original notebook. Perfect for leafing through as a family.
