What do you use to store and organise your recipes?

As a keen cook and recipe collector, I've found a few simple ways to store and organise my recipes. I mostly use a physical recipe binder with clear pockets for each type of dish - it's old school, but I love having a tangible copy. For digital recipes, I use apps like Paprika and Evernote, which are great for categorizing and easily accessing them. I've also started using Pinterest boards for recipe inspiration and quick access. Occasionally, I use Google Docs for recipes that I'm still tweaking and refining.

This means that they require additional cooking, such as boiling or braising, to ensure they are safe and tender to eat. So next time you grab some smoked ham hocks, remember to give them a good cook before enjoying their delicious flavors!
