I've been putting off this project for a long time because, frankly, I don't know how to start. I have a gazillion cookbooks, I've written about most of them and I have no idea how to organize them in this index. I could do it the way Librarians do it...simply by alphabetical order of the author, or I could do it the way we often find books in a bookstore...by category and author. I choose the latter, simply because it's also how I organize my bookshelves...in my own fashion, of course.
The other monumental question .... is ...do I link to each recipe I've adapted over the years? I'm not sure, but I guess I will just jump in the deep end, start with the books (they all have links to recipes anyway), and let it evolve as it will.
