Organize Your Family Recipes
If you have a collection of family recipes, for most of us, it's probably pretty disorganized. If you're lucky, you have all of your recipes more or less in one place, stuffed in a drawer. More than likely, your recipes are scattered all over the place, in drawers, recipe boxes, storage or moving boxes, file cabinets, etc.
If you keep all of your recipes stuffed away in a drawer, you might have a chance finding a recipe you've been thinking about. And you know, you can determine the age of a recipe by how far down (or far back) in the drawer you have to dig to locate your favorite recipe.
Or, maybe you use the discolored paper technique (similar to carbon dating). The yellower the paper, the older the recipe.
Does your recipe collection look something like this?
Hey, we get it.
There's something actually comfortable, familiar and sentimental keeping our recipe collection on a bunch of 3x5 index cards.
Dog-eared corners, faded paper, smeared ink from water spills, notes and scratchings when we want to make a change or addition, and so on.

New Features at Family Recipe Central
The community at Family Recipe Central is what sets us apart.
Much more than just another recipe web site, it's the community here at Family Recipe Central that truly sets us apart. We mean the community of family. And the community of friends.
A cherished tradition world wide, the family collection of recipes handed down from generation to generation is a universal social custom near and dear to all of our hearts.
Nothing brings warm feelings of nurturing and comfort to mind faster than the thought of Mom's home cooking (or maybe Dad's). OK, maybe your Mom isn't always the greatest cook (hey, we can't all be this fortunate), but perhaps it's that holiday meal over at Aunt Bettie's house that hits the spot?
Or maybe those barbecued ribs that nobody does better than Uncle Hal?
In the spirit of great family cooking, we're committed to helping families everywhere preserve and protect their family recipe heirloom.
We've created a unique community environment here at Family Recipe Central to help you do just that!
The Community and Group Features Set Us Apart ...
At the FamilyRecipeCentral.com website, each family can create a group. Within your family group you can come together, wherever your family members might be located, and collaborate on recording, documenting, collecting, sharing, improving, and growing your collection of family recipes. A powerful recipe management system lets you easily manage your recipes in so many ways, including the ability to publish your recipe collections in your own family cookbook.
