Do you use a recipe software?

I'm curious as well...

How long did that take you?

I keep some of mine in an email folder. I have an accordion folder in the kitchen with a lot of them with my notes. They need to be organized so it doesn't take so long for me to find the one I'm looking for. I also have a 3 ring binder with some and a few recipe boxes with the cards with recipes people have written for me on the cards. I write in all my cookbooks when I use those. Not very techno methods.

Just a couple of hours to enter version 5's recipes and then about another 45 minutes to enter the recipes from the thread, generate the Word document, clean up a few editing irregularities and generate the index and table of contents. Not bad for about 350 recipes.

There's a FireFox add-on called RecipeFox that allows you collect recipes in bulk from certain websites. NOLA.com used to be one of them, but they changed their format and the add-on was never changed to match. If you know about HTML, you can do it for any site by creating your own formatting style.

I have a collection of about 12,000 recipes in the database.

I've also got a cookbook collection of around 1500 books, depending on how you define "Cookbook".

I am tinkering with google docs but can't yet say whether its good or not. Here is an article on using GD for recipes.
