I very rarely buy them. I can get pretty much any recipe I need online.
Now the ones I do buy are usually bought because there are interesting
stories in them or they contain things I can't find online.

I have to admit that I have not bought a cookbook in years but
elaborate, lavishly illustrated books continue to be published and
Barnes and Noble still has quite a large section displaying them. Great
place to browse but who buys them? :-)

Almost nobody. I bought a cheap small cookbook at Costco yesterday. Taste
of Home book called "Fresh and Easy". Impulsive buy... It was the pictures


Perhaps the title should be "Almost Nobody" for the header. Am I going burn
my personal library of over one thousand books. Noooo!!! that Ray Bradbury
guy was a prophet!!! Nooooo!!!

When looking for recipes there days I tend to look online before I check
my cookbooks. I also get a lot of good recipes out of newspapers and
magazines. I try them and if they are good I type them up and save them.


Lately I have found several cookie recipes that use canola oil instead
of saturated fats, which I am not supposed to eat anymore. A few weeks
ago there was a recipe in a newspaper for triple chocolate brownie
cookies that looked healthy enough. They turned out to be delicious. The
recipe is a keeper.

I buy cookbooks all the time. I love them and enjoy reading them.
