Cutting best recipes out of books and binning the rest?

[Justkoko]

I've felt like doing this for a while. I must have 30 cookbooks and would probably never cook most of the meals. It be far more efficient to slice out the best ones,keep them in a ringbinder and bin the rest but I think I might regret it and it also feels wasteful. But I have so many it is overwhelming!

Recipe keeper looks promising. What if you saved everything to an app though and it went bust?!

I can't cut them up. It doesn’t feel right. I'll have to scan and print or upload. I'm not great at streamlining my 'things' even though I'd really like to simplify everything in my home.

I do worry about that a bit. But they have upgraded it loads in the last year with new features so it’s getting attention.

Take a photo of your favourite recipes and then upload each one to a page in a photo book. There, made your own recipe book!

Photocopy and then donate the book. Win/win.

Just scan them with your phone and keep them in folders on there no need to print them off. As long as you make sure that you are backing up your phone you won't lose them if you lose your phone and you can access them from any device.

Nope, it is not. A book is a collection of paper that I own and can do whatever I like with. Defacing a book belonging to someone else is bad.

One that you own... it is like putting a newspaper in the recycling, why are words with a binding "worthy"?
