How do you organize your recipes? Sure, we all have cookbooks and view recipes online; but we all also clip them out of magazines, scribble them on scrap paper, and snip them off of product packaging.

Some of you may use recipe boxes, or even just folders or envelopes, but there are always cool new products coming out to make our lives just a little easier and tidier – and boy, do I have a couple cool products for you!

The Recipe Nest, by Recipe Relish, is a neat little box with a clip on the outside (so you can have easy access to your recipe while you’re using it), and an organizing storage area on the inside. It comes with 12 labels, six dividers, and two bookmarks, making it really easy for you to find your favourite recipes. Have too many recipes, or yearn to be meticulously organized? You can buy extra sets of dividers as well as recipe sleeves (to keep your recipes free from sticky splashes)! The Recipe Nest typically goes for $35 to $40 (CAD), with additional tabs and dividers costing between $6 and $13.

I currently use the Umbra Portochef Recipe Album, and find that it does the trick, although some additional organizing tools (such as marked tabs, divided sleeves for small recipe cards) would be helpful. It’s a bit more subtle looking than the Recipe Nest, however, and is sleek enough to keep on the kitchen counter. This album sells for about $30.

How do you keep your recipes organized? Is it important to you to keep them in order, or do you prefer organized chaos?
