When I started cooking I thought I needed something like this -- but what I found was that when keeping a recipe collection, over time I ended up with 10 different recipes for roasted brussels sprouts with different flavors mixed in and had slight variations on the basic technique. What I actually ended up wanting as I cooked more was to keep track of the basic technique I used when I made really good roasted brussels sprouts, along with a bunch of notes different variations or flavors to use with that technique, rather than a bunch of individual recipes.
Personally, I've found switching to using something like Notion or Evernote as more of a cooking 'notebook' than a recipe collection -- where you are not forced into traditional recipe structure for each page -- has worked really well for keeping track of stuff like this.
