The CookBook Giveaway

We are decorating our living room /dining room / kitchen whilst we are away for a few weeks. It’s meant clearing a very big area and no fun, hence my lack of commenting for which I apologise. We took down three shelves of cookbooks, this is just a small collection. It’s time to distribute these now - two Ottolenghi’s are already packed to take to Zurich. My DIL’s first choice.
i love ottolenghi's books & recipes & thank you... to you I have just discovered an ottolenghi resturant in paris... Yippee!!!! you've made my day.... big smily face

I bet you have made some amazing meals over the years! What a wonderful variety of books you have, and how generous of you to share them with others

An interesting collection! Hope they all find a good home.

It’s good to be forced to have a sort out because it’s amazing how many cookbooks we accumulate over the years. I have some that I keep just for one recipe.

I will have that coming up soon too! As we both always loved cooking, I have at least one book of every top chef, over 100 books! I also have a collection Australian Vogue Entertaining which I started buying in Tokyo in the early 70's.

A whole nightmare is ahead for me as there will be no space in our new house..
Most of them we don't use anymore and they were all very expensive. Nobody wants books anymore, everyone googles recipes.

Oh renovations can be fun but it can also be full of many tasks which can be not so much fun

I got rid of most of my cookbooks when I moved into my current house. Usually Google a recipe rather than look one up, except for well used old favorites.

I too cleared out my cookbooks as I realized I just didn't use them

I love a clear out but I dislike throwing things away and always try and gift them to someone

Nice collection of colorful books.
August 12th, 2026  
That's quite a collection! I'm sure it will be worth it when the decorating is done.

Renovating is hard work. Good luck with the decorating

I'm not a cook and tossed about 100 unopened cookbooks when I down sized
