Creating Your Own Index In Cookbooks

I have a series of annually produced hardcover cookbooks (based upon a published periodical) but I was having difficulty in finding the recipes I wanted once I had more than 3 of the books. I perused each cookbook thoroughly, jotting down on a piece of paper, which recipes I thought we would enjoy trying along with the page number. I then taped this paper to the inside cover of the book.

It is so much easier to find what I am looking for now. When I do try a new recipe and want to keep track of it, I simply put an asterisk next to the name of the recipe. I may not remember what the name of the cornbread recipe was exactly or which yearly cookbook it was in, but with this index, I can find it almost immediately.

I have 28 different Company's Coming cookbooks, I love the easy to follow recipes and most of them use ingredients that I already have at home. When I find a recipe in a different cookbook...maybe one of the community cookbooks (a chocolate cake recipe for example), I find the applicable Company's Coming book (eg.

Cakes), go to the index and under Chocolate I write the name of the recipe, the name of the other recipe book and page # it is on. Now when I want a recipe for...... I check the index of the applicable Company's Coming book.
