Here they are, my proud collection of cookbooks. There are a lot of Australian Women's Weekly, some Jaime Oliver, Bill Granger, Cookery the Australian Way and Stephanie Alexander. There are a bunch of others too that are cool, like my 1960's Encyclopaedia of Cooking and a couple of great vegetarian cookbooks that I collected in my vego days and still get a lot of use from.
The books are in the kitchen next to the pantry cupboard so that I can use them. I still have spaces there from short cookbooks, but you know what? I still end up getting a lot of recipes online because I can't find *quite* what I'm looking for. Ridiculous really!
Go to Kate & Michael +3 to see more collections of cookery books.
I do the same thing! I have stacks of cookbooks, but the internet just makes it so easy to find exactly what you want! :)
ReplyDeleteMy cook book is the Internet too, so much easier to let Google look up a recipe for me than try and remember which page of which book I saw it in.
ReplyDeleteI often make a point of pulling out a few cookbooks or foodie mag's as opposed to reaching for my laptop which is the easiest thing for me to do. I LERV cookbooks and recipes in magazines..but it does require effort to resist the temptation to Google! I sometimes use a combo of both the internet and published literature for inspiration. Eg. I might source 3 of the exact same recipe through both medium's.. compare them.. and then take a little inspiration from 2 or even 3 recipes. Then when I make it or bake it.. I usually tweak it further. Sometimes too much info can do your head in.. But I think it's still fun when food's involved! :)
