Gather your old recipes and organize them alphabetically by section. Organize the recipes into categories, such as breakfast, lunch, dinner and desserts.
Organize the recipes alphabetically within each section. This will make it easier for you to find the right recipe in the future.
Use a computer to write out your recipes in a printed format. Print them on 8 1/2-by-11-inch paper and include images obtained through your camera or from the Internet to make your cookbook more colorful.
Buy plastic sheet-holders that attach to a three-ring binder and place your recipes inside the sheets. This will make it possible to easily clean up any spills while you are cooking and keep the recipes in good condition.
Organize your cookbook by using tabs or dividers to separate each section. If you have several recipes, you can organize by section and use additional dividers to organize further by alphabetical order.
