The only times I would duplicate a recipe is either inadvertently, not realizing I already have it by another name, or if I translate it and keep both the original and translation, in two places. Sometimes I do rename recipes, to avoid two recipes having the exactly same name. But I don't need to rename for ease of searching. If I need a seafood dish with mushrooms, I will just perform a search of my seafood folder, searching for "mushrooms" as a keyword, and the resulting page will give me every seafood recipe with mushrooms that I have in my computer. But of course, this is different for different operating systems.

I pretty much do the same as immagrant. Oyster casserole would go in my sea food folder However, I make sure that in the title (even if I have to change name) will also put in ingredients I know I might look for... example: given name = fish bake but after reading find out it is a casserole that uses wite fish and has mushrooms in it I will rename it mushroom white fish casserole doing it this way I can go into my seafood folder in that folder I have other folders like shrimp, salmon etc. but having the mushrooms listed first I can just go down my list using the letter m pop to mushroom and then look for a dish I want to make... that is if I have mushrooms and looking for something to use them with *smile* I am redoing my entire cookbook which has taken on a life of its own, but even now I can already see if I have layered a recipe too deep into folers or have to rename it. so you will have to work with it and decide what types of listings work for you... good luck Dee ----- Original Message ----- From: "Immigrant" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 07, 2010 1:25 PM Subject: Re: [CnD] Question for the list. I personally don't have a folder for casseroles. So, an oyster casserole would go into my seafood folder. Otherwise, if a recipe overlaps a couple of categories, I put it into the category where the most pronounced ingredient belongs. For example, "cheesy mushroom fish bake" will go into the seafood folder, not the mushrooms folder, because fish, not mushrooms, would be the main ingredient. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of kerry Friddell Sent: Thursday, January 07, 2010 6:29 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [CnD] Question for the list. Where would you file a recipe that could go into 2 or more folders such as (oyster casserole), that could go in the folder called: seafood, or the folder called casseroles? Thanks for your input.
