Is there a way to see a list of what is in each cookbook? Because of the story/picture, you only see a few per page - I just want a straight list that I could possibly print.

I realized I had the same recipe in two cookbooks. What I'd really like is when I go to add it to a cookbook it tells me somehow that it is is already in cookbook x. Not to say I don't want some in two books, but . ..

Help?

At the current time, there is no index capability for custom cookbooks, Buzy.

I do a version of that with my big fat binders of recipes. An untried recipe is put in without protection. Anything I've tried and liked enough to make again gets a plastic protective sleeve on it.

How can I creat a new cookbook? Use to be able to do this stuff but now with my older age my head is just filled with fluff.

I can sympathize, Carly! I have problems, too.

I went to costo and got all whit binders, size
needed. I than wrote the binders name in block size
print going down or some times two items on photo paper



The paper was stiff so slipped right in the name front
Each binder has a pocket on each side I put all the recipes to be tried there.
They look so elegant on my
shelves and always right there when I need them.

You should take a picture and post it for us, Dolores!

OK maybe I'm blind but I have gone to My Cookbooks opened it up and to the right of my cookbooks I do not see reorder my cookbooks please help

Hover your cursor over the blue box to the right of your icon. Go to the left hand column and the very last link on that list is All My Cookbooks - click that.

When the page opens, at the very top it will say Robert Downes's cookbooks. Right underneath that should be Reorder My Cookbooks. Click that link. Then when you are done, click the I'm Done Reordering button at the bottom of the screen.

Wow! This is very helpful I just signed up. What a great recipe site. I' trying to figure out how to create and organize my cookbooks, so this was great!

can i pull recipes from my cookbook and send it to my new cookbook

[duonyte]

Sure - open up a page from your main cookbook - not a recipe but a page listing a lot of recipes. At the left hand edge you wiill see a checkbox labeled Select. Pick the recipes on that page that you want to go into a new cookbook - then scroll to the bottom of the screen and click the Add to Cookbook button - this will give you a list of your existing cookbooks or allow you to create a new one. Select of create, and the recipes will be copied to the new cookbook.

You can then hit the delete button to remove from your main cookbook
