My students and I were just in the TKL recipe box to get ready for our bread making and we noticed your inquiry about saving and printing recipes. I find by using notepad, I end up cutting or recopying the recipe again into another type of data base program. At school, We've been using an on-line recipe box that's free for consumers. It's at www.kraftfoods.com It's under their cookbook section called "recipe box". We copy and paste each set of ingredients, directions and notes for a recipe into the specified area of the "box". When it's all been copied and pasted, you save it by clicking on "add to recipe box" (at the end of the page.) This can then be printed out. It comes out in a nice format on a full page. We place them in protective plastic sleeves and keep them in a binder. We now have lots from TKL with a separate tab called TKL Favourites.
Just a note to say we love putting in the notes from the persons who've posted the recipe at TKL. My students love to guess from what part the US or Canada it's from and what the weather is like there as well as the type of foods, spices, etc. people who live there eat. This is just another suggestion..... I'd love to know about other ways or programs to cut and paste recipes into.
