In reply to the discussion: Do you still have cookbooks? Do you use them? [View all]usonian
(13,941 posts)6. I have quite a few, but not too many.
Just too many to list. I basically scan them (as in scan with eyeballs) now and then for ideas.
I got a lot of magazines at the thrift store and rather than scan them, i just removed the (too many) excess pages.
I use Paprika app, old version because I don't want to pay for the new shiny version all over again. It is very good at cleaning out endless life stories that accompany recipes on the web. And exports nicely.
Joy of Cooking sold an app but discontinued it, I think.
I'll double check.
AND I have all my Mom's recipe cards that she typed on a Selectric. Scanned them for preservation.
FWIW, I use music scores almost entirely in pdf format on the ipad pro. Some remain to be scanned.
