Over the last year, I’ve been experimenting with various ways to put my recipes online, mainly for myself, but also with a degree of sharing, if possible.
The main objective was to gather together the hand-written and typed notes, both from my own experiments and various cooking courses I have been on. There was also a degree of gathering recipes from books and the web that particularly pleased or intrigued me into a single place – attributed, of course.
I tried Evernote for a while, but didn’t get anywhere. I have a paid subscription to “My Cookbook Online”, which looked promising until I realised that you can only share recipes with others using “My Cookbook Online”
Tonight I have found a solution in an obvious place. With a free WordPress plugin, I have extended my existing food blog – My Food Adventure – to include recipes. The plugin I am trying (Recipes by Simmer) seems to allow for easy entry of ingredients and instructions – either by keyboard entry, or bulk copy/paste (followed by a tidy up!).
