I can't see anything inappropriate/boring about discussing cookbooks
right here. I dunno about other news services, but when I go to
my 'Subscribe to newsgroups' list, the 'Description' for
rec.food.cooking is listed as "Food, cooking, cookbooks and recipes".

Besides, as somebody else pointed out, those that aren't interested can
skip the threads - especially if you come up with some sort
of 'standardized' subject line that indicates that it's a cookbook
thread... maybe start the thread with "CB:" (or something like that?)
that way folks can easily set up a filter if they're not interested.

Just my two cents.
