Original recipe cards passed down from older relatives are invaluable, but like any physical object, they don't always survive the passing of years intact. If your family recipe box resembles the photo on the left—a mishmash of old cards, splattered and stained, the handwriting faded after many long years of storage and use—then you might want to try this preservation trick from Martha Stewart.

If you've been cooking for awhile, you probably have an arsenal of go-to recipes, dishes you can whip up from memory, but sometimes — especially when it comes to baking — you need to reference specific ingredient measurements. You can crack open your cookbooks or pull up your bookmarks online, but bartender and blogger Jeffrey Morgenthaler uses a more portable tool for storing all his most-used recipes: a Moleskine address book.

I love the idea of collecting my favorite recipes on adorable cards, complete with the amendments I make to the ingredient lists and instructions. Every time I see a cute set of recipe cards my heart skips a beat, but I've never actually purchased a set because I'm not quite convinced they'd be used. So, I wonder...

Are recipe cards useful or outdated? More

With all the hustle and bustle in the kitchen this Thanksgiving, I quickly realized the insufficiency of my recipe organization. Cards and clippings were floating everywhere, getting sprinkled with water and gravy, and disappearing in the chaos. So before Christmas arrives, I've decided to devote some time to reorganizing my recipes in the hopes of making my life easier and facilitating better use. More

Q: What is the best way to organize recipes? I find recipes from a wide variety of sources (blogs, magazines, cookbooks, websites like Epicurious) so they aren't all necessarily in the same format.

Is it better to print the online recipes or digitize the on-paper recipes? Anyone have a great system for organizing recipes that come from a variety of sources?

We get a lot of questions and requests for advice on recipe organization systems, so we were excited to see this recipe binder from Jaime and and Jacinda at Prudent Baby. It's very practical and inspirational, and they've included some free downloads to help you create your own version. More

Moleskine notebooks have a cult following (and extremely good brand PR!). Those little black notebooks are used for many things, and they have even been cleverly adapted by some cooks into recipe organizers (see this neat one from Delicious Days). Well, now Moleskine is responding to those who would like a little more from their black notebooks. They've issued several new editions, two of them pointed directly at cooks and wine-lovers. More

We are constantly bookmarking new recipes on the web, spotting new ingredients to try, and tearing articles out of magazines. Keeping all these bits and pieces organized is tough, but so many of programs that promise to help end up being too good to be true. But Evernote! This is one program that might just actually be able to deliver. More

We follow a lot of food blogs (too many probably!) and we're constantly coming across great new recipes and ideas we want to try. We've used Google Reader to siphon all those blog feeds into one place for several years now, but keeping track of the recipes we wanted to save for later was still a problem - but then we discovered a simple solution!
