Todays word is recipe. Phil has a weakness for recipe books, so we probably have thousands of recipes. Delia, is one of the first cook books we ever had & is well thumbed.
I recently went through my cookbooks and donated a box of them. Kept my favorites, which is far too many for how seldom I cook things I follow a recipe. The internet has made finding a recipe easy!
A great take and collection of cookery books! At one point I had so many cookery books ( ex cookery teacher!! ) I had a great sort out and sent a large selection to the charity shop! I mainly use recipes from my hand written folder of tried and tested recipes, sometimes consulting Delia,and these days google for new ideas!
Oh how I understand that! Both hubby and I are passionate cooks and cook book collectors. We have almost every book of the national and international famed chefs. Only problem is, it is past tense! I can't be bothered anymore, rather go out with my camera 😉
Good that you actually read your recipe books….worth the money you pay…I buy the odd one but never seem to read them very often. I gave a lot to the charity shops when we moved but tend to stick to the old favourites written in my book or in my head. I’m always tearing recipes out if magazines but rarely use them
Nice collection. Most of our new books are Jay’s for baking. I can only cook with recipes. I never have any idea how those British Baking Show bakers know how to make what they do without recipes.
Oh this makes me hungry... it must be time for lunch now... it must! Nice shot... had to laugh at the part of the title of the book on the left... had to wonder why the word "hairy" was in there... The Hairy Bikers' Big Book of Baking... interesting!
