NYTimes Rx : how do you organize ?

[rotuts]

Some of us subscribe to the NYTimes.

 

their ' Cooking ' section is quite good , comparing to the rest of the internet, of course.

 

How to you organize the various Rx's you might want to keep ?

 

ie  on your computer vs a bookmark ?

If I have made one of their dishes I save it to "recipe box" on their app.  If I am interested in making it I copy and paste it to Evernote.

Since I have just started to receive it, I decided that I did have to have a plan to save the recipes. The ones that I want to try I will save in saved pages on my browser. Ones that I have tried and liked I will copy and paste into Google Drive. Google Drive is the system that I use to save all my recipes and recipes that I would like to try.

Pretty much the same as @ElsieD except I don’t have their app.

Tapping the little bookmark icon on the website does pretty much the same thing. 
I save recipes I want to try and mark them as cooked when I do. 
Also handy that it lets you see a list of the recipes you’ve recently viewed. 
You can also create as many folders as you like.

My Chrome is a bit dated .

 

I did note the ' saved Rx box '

 

is there any way the Box can be saved to the desk top, and function as individual files later w/o a browser ?

Before I had a subscription to NYT Cooking, I used to try to "game the system" and capture recipes which interested me. Now, of course, I can see the entire recipe.

 

I have a format in Evernote for all recipes I want to make or reference, which includes some eGullet chats. I want to be able to print the recipe I'm interested in, so I can prop it up in the kitchen. (I'm very annoyed at the "upgrade" of Evernote [ownership to Bent Spoons] which add[ed] huge text size and created many headings [H1, H2, H3]. I now strip all that out when I make my Evernote copy. It takes a few minutes but then the recipe can easily be read from a printed page}.

 

There's no way to do that without a software repository, @rotuts. Some people use Microsoft Word.

 

One thing you could do from the original recipe is to print to pdf (or save as pdf) which would give you a file which you can store on your computer and access without opening a browser. When you save the recipe give it a useful name, e.g. RedBoat40ByRotuts.pdf . You could organize your recipes by putting them in named folders, e.g. Beef, in a structured fashion.

 

In Evernote all of my food-related notes are in a Notebook named Food.

 

Edited to add:

I used to work (hard) to get all the recipe ingredients on the first page, and usually, the entire recipe on two pages. Evernote's mash-up of printing "fixed" all that. 😒

More.

 

(I wanted rotuts to see that I had edited my earlier remark. Surely @Smithy will fix it!)

I'd like to be able to print from Evernote using my tablet.  Do you know how to do this?

I think we looked into this a few years ago, Elsie. Without success.

 

Just looked up on Evernote forum and found here

"Currently I think the best option for printing from Evernote Android may be to click the 3 buttons menu at top right and select "Open in Lite Editor," which will open the note in your browser; and then print using the browser's print functions."

What brand of printer do you have and is it set up to do wireless?

[Maison Rustique]

Any recipes online (incl. NYT), I save as pdf files on my PC. Much easier to have everything in one place instead of having to go to various online sites to find a recipe. Super simple and I have folders set up for Meats, Sides, etc.

I have a Brother and it is wireless.  I can print from my tablet from other sites but not from Evernote.

Thanks for this, @TdeV.  I tried that and it works but it will only print what's in front of you.  That is, if it is a 2 page recipe, it will print what you see on your screen then you need to position page 2 on your screen and print that.  I also have to log in the Evernote Light Editor before it will print.  I'm going to play around with it.
