I Love Cookbooks!

I have an entire shelf in the upstairs hall closet full of cookbooks, photocopies of recipes found in magazines, cookbooks from school book sales and some of my mother’s cookbooks. 

Being a librarian you would think I would have a handle on organization…a winter project for sure! Over the years I have given some cookbooks to my girls and to the library book sale.  I used to have two-full shelves filled with memories and recipes. I have now reduced this clutter to one shelf in my office. I’ll post my office pics soon- still remodeling.


This cookbook came to me via a book sale at our public library.  I made the Tomato Tart the other night for dinner and we loved it.  Meatless and simple. 

It looks just like the picture!!

What are your thoughts on cookbooks?  Do you find yourself still using them?  Lately, I find myself looking for recipes on the web.  I usually print the recipe and then try to organize it. Certainly not a failsafe system…I stiff prefer a cookbook for the pictures and the organization of recipes. I wonder about the future of cookbooks- in twenty years will people still read cookbooks??
