Recipe management?

Does paprika only work for online recipes? Or can I use it to organize the recipes in my cookbooks too?

One more thing..didn't Gourmet just release a PC version?

Susan W, you make me laugh! You're in good company . . . I found a recipe on an index card in the bottom of my freezer the other day. How it got there I will never know. Interestingly, it was in fine shape, if a bit damp. ;o) P.S. I use Paprika for recipes available online, but only ones that I use a lot, and that will load into their system automatically. I'm still wrestling with about 6 linear feet of notebooks and bucket files of hard copy recipes, and the overlapping (as in Venn diagram) hundreds that I've scanned to PDF or typed into Word documents on various laptops going back to the early 90's. (I typed many dozens in while commuting, during down time to relax on business trips, etc. before starting my own firm in 2001, and have quite a few family favorites typed by my mother many years ago, later scanned by me . . . you get the picture.)

AJ, we sound like we are in the same restaurant boat. I also have two index card files. One full of desserts from when I had a small dessert biz that supplied a couple of restaurants, shi shi grocery stores and caterers with cakes, cookies, bars and cheesecakes. I looked through it the other day and found a couple of the cards completely coated with butter, flour and sugar to the point I was not able to read a word of the recipe. Such a professional way to store them. Ugh

Thanks, Susan W! Consider posting the recipe on Food52?

Thanks, Suzanne!

I joined Evernote, but now have no idea how to get started! :(

Too funny, healthierkitchen! I, too, joined Evernote but find I don't use it. Maybe some Food52ers who love it will advise us.

LOL, I have been using Evernote for about 3 years I think and can't remember how I started using it. I know you have to create notebooks, each notebook contains recipes you add. I have notebooks for desserts, breads, ice cream, drinks, pasta etc....... when you add a recipe either by typing it in, pasting or scanning and adding you choose which notebook to add the recipe to that way it keeps your recipes organized. I will look through it and see if I can remember how I did it other than that.

I added this recipe to my dessert notebook, you simply click the plus sign to add a recipe to a chosen notebook. To create a notebook click on file and "new notebook"

Suzanne to the rescue! Thanks!!

I didn't mean to click on I agree, ugh!! I wanted to reply that it's as simple as creating a notebook and adding a recipe to that notebook. I copy and paste most but have successfully scanned from my volumes of cards and pages that I still refuse to get rid of.
