Hey here is an idea that you may not have thought of before. Get a Rolodex flip file address keeper and use the backs of all the cards. Refills of Rolodex cards are readily available. They may not be as cheap as regular 3x5 index cards. The alphabetizing cards can be used backwards to categorize recipes however you want to. You can rearrange them anytime you want, you can add and remove to change your collection as your needs and tastes change. You can even carry a few cards in your purse so that when you are in a waiting room and see a recipe you want to try, you can jot them down and add them when you get home.
You would want to use this for alllll your fav recipes out of other cookbooks, simply copy them down and keep the Rolodex on the counter, store your books away. I would also jot down the name of dishes you know how to make without a recipe because then you can use the cards as a brainstorming tool when you are planning your menus. And you might start each category in your system with a list of things to do with one single ingredient (fav hamburger dishes) or what kinds of things to do for a certain situation such as kids favs, good for potluck, super easy. You might have a category of skills that you don't remember time to time. The formula for rice to water. How to debone a chicken or filet a fish. Where is the punchbowl. How to sharpen a knife. For each recipe you might start jotting down good things to serve with it.
So as you can see, you can turn it into as much of an information resource as you want, aside from recipes, and it would all be at your fingertips on the counter or in the front cabinet to take out when you need it. This system would save a lot of space even if you grow into another Rolodex keeper because unlike cookbooks, this would be a personalized collection of recipes that YOU use. Kind of like a greatest hits album or a mix CD that you burned with YOUR fav songs from other CDs.
When the time comes that your collection spills over from ONE Rolodex file you can start dividing them into two in a way that makes sense to you. Cooking and baking, sweet and savory, meats and veggies, indoor and outdoor, everyday and holiday/large groups, spring/summer and fall/winter. It would totally be YOUR system.
As for everyday use, you can pull them out to menu plan, keeping that week's out for use, or to make your grocery list, or whatever. But what I would do is just leave the keeper on the counter, don't stuff it so full (so it stays open at the recipe you select), and then when you flip to the recipe you want to use, read it from there, just out of the workspace so it doesn't get splatters of food on it...then you don't have to take it out and put it back, you don't have to touch it with foody hands.
I hope this helps you! I thought it was a great idea when I saw it in an organizing book. Personally, I don't have use for it because I don't cook much with recipes.
