Making a Recipe Book

TIPical Mary Ellen : Episode TIP-360 -- More Projects »
Organizing expert Louise Kurzeka shows how to make a cookbook to preserve family recipes for years to come.
  • Items needed for your recipe book include the following: colored sheets, divider pages, recipe pages, plastic cover sheets, page protectors for both the dividers and recipe pages, envelopes, index tabs, category list, menu planner, grocery list and a glue stick.

  • Start by categorizing the recipes--appetizers, desserts, soups, etc.

  • Create labeled index tabs for the category pages.

  • Create a divider page by placing a divider sheet into a plastic cover sheet.

  • Attach a labeled index tab to the edge of the plastic cover sheet.

  • Use a glue stick to attach the recipes for that category onto the white sheets. This type of glue is re-stickable, so a recipe can easily be removed.

  • Place the completed recipe pages into plastic cover sheets.

  • List the category and recipes that are included on the divider page.

  • Continue with the remaining categories.
