Is there any way to make your own recipe book or compile all of your recipes on the internet?

I have all types of recipes written on cards, ripped out of magazines, etc. Is there any way to put them all together on the internet?Is there any way to make your own recipe book or compile all of your recipes on the internet?
I scan and save them.Is there any way to make your own recipe book or compile all of your recipes on the internet?
YES! I have 2 ways of keeping my recipes. I have what I call my kitchen bible that I keep in my kitchen. Basically it is a book with blank pages, just lines to write on. When I find a good recipe that I have tried and want to keep for future use I add it to my book. When My children get out on there own I intend to give each a kitchen bible of there own with some of the recipes that they like already in it, and plenty of room for them to add their own threw the years. On my computer I also have a file just for recipes, I save all the recipes that sound good and I want to try in this file. I also put a rating system on them after I try them or add notes. It is easy access and oh so easy to print off for my friends and family when they ask me for my recipes for certain things. Have fun!
You can buy programs that will compile them for you if you type them in. They organize them, and then you can search. It's actually really cool. I am not sure of the name of it, but my father in law has something like it.
If they are on cards and ripped out of magazines, use stick glue to put them on plain paper and use a 3-hole punch to put the pages in a notebook and organize the pages like any other cookbook--appetizers, barbecue, cakes, cookies, eggs, etc. That's what I do, anyways, with all the handwritten and magazine recipes. If they are handwritten by a grandparent that has passed away, I scan them and put them on disc to save their handwriting and preserve the original in those laminating sheets you can get at any office supply store. If you use the computer or go online to save all those recipes, you will have to hand type every recipe in order to upload it anywhere, unless you have recipes copied and pasted online somewhere...
Your best way is to have a program and store it on your computer first! Then you can upload to the internet on your website.





My advice--only type of the ones you have tried and would make again. Don't just type of ones out of magazines. Not worth your time.





I use Mastercook.
You can create a blog and use it for your recipes. Here on yahoo or any number of sites.
