My grandmother has dozens of handwritten recipe cards, some dating back to the 60s. I've also been collecting recipes from blogs and family members for years — everything from her famous tarte tatin to my aunt's pot-au-feu.
The problem is it's all scattered: some photos on my phone, some bookmarks, some printed out in a drawer. I was looking for a way to keep everything organized digitally and found a tool called Mijote that lets you import recipes from any URL and tag them. It's been really helpful for building a proper collection.
But I'm curious — how do you all keep track of your heirloom recipes? Do you digitize them or keep the handwritten originals? I feel like there's a whole generation of recipes that could be lost if we don't make the effort.

In a giant binder
Both — we keep the originals in a binder, but we cook from a cookbook that my son had printed and bound from digitized versions of the recipes. It also allowed us to give a copy to other family members.
