[Bethislucy]

I have a good many too, I'm the nerdy person that also like's to read cookbooks. The nest one on my list to get is Aarti Sequeira's new one Unwind.

 

[Praying Colonel]

We've got so many cookbooks, but I rarely use them anymore. I usually go to YouTube and find a recipe there, and save it to a playlist for future use.

I have a few, but it's been a while since I've bought a new one.

Love Aarti!!

I like cookbooks. Have some of my Mom's. I don't buy them anymore because most recipes can be found on line. But when I go to estate sales, I always check out the cookbooks. I like the older ones and cookbooks from churches.

 

[mumto3girls]

I have at least 20 including the little paper ones from churches/schools and the ones in the checkout lane that resemble magazines but are more substantial. I use them mostly for Christmas baking, but there are a few I go to for other specific recipes. I have a lot of recipes saved on Pinterest and Allrecipes.

We only have three since I use online recipes for the bulk of my recipe-based cooking (and really prefer to wing it or be creative for a lot of my cooking). The funny thing...a recipe I use and modify a lot is something I found online but was in a jam when I found it and hand wrote it down onto a small sheet of paper...which is stuffed inside of a cookbook.

 

[1420Elexismc]

I don't have any cookbooks...I do have a binder of recipes I have printed out...although after making something a few times, I can usually remember how to make something. Except baking-I always follow those recipes to a T

I LOVE LOVE LOVE reading cookbooks and recipes!! Have huge amount though now it’s more internet.

Do I make a million different things? No unfortunately, but it doesn’t stop me from thoroughly loving reading recipes. Sounds dumb I know but I read cookbooks like others read novels (which I hate).

 

[Micca]

We have cookbooks, they are never used and just take up space in a kitchen cabinet. We do have two volumes of cookbooks with WDW recipes, I take a look at those once every few years.

 

[fly girl]

I have over 20, but I really only use 3 on a regular basis.

 

[Bellhop97]

Does google search count as a cook book..lol

 

[newski_mom]

I have lots of cookbooks (even though I just purged quite a few a couple months ago).

I mainly use a church cookbook and a cookbook that my cousin designed with recipes from lots of family members (so kind of like a church cookbook).

I use a website / app called copymethat to store my online recipes that I want to try, but it's getting so jumbled that I really need to spend some time organizing it so it's more useful. I'm honestly tempted to print the ones that I know I use and like as well as the ones that I for sure want to try and starting over with it lol!

 

[WDWDCLDLFAN]

I like the *idea* of cookbooks, I’m often tempted to purchase them, but I know that I’ll never open a book for a recipe.
I don’t really like to cook, but because of my family, I have to. I have a pretty varied repertoire of things to make, and if I need anything new I usually just look online. Will be sure to check out tomorrow‘s poll.

 

[fla4fun]

My mom had a lot of cookbooks when she passed and I have them now. I don’t know how many there are, and I haven’t used one yet. She also had a recipe box with index cards in it. That I have used to make certain foods, especially holiday cookies.

 

[NAB]

I have at least 20 my mom gave me a lot of Company’s coming.

She had the Red Rose Flour cook book forever so when I got married I ordered one for my self but used it so much over the years had to replace it once.

Then I have 2 church ones I use a lot too.

The most I use is the recipe cards I have written out from my grandmother and mom.

 

[tvguy]

I stopped counting at 34. And that doesn't include the pamphlet like cookbooks we got with every cooking appliance we have purchased over the years that have a couple dozen recipes in them. The one's that come with crockpots, toaster ovens, BBQs Cuisinarts, mixers etc.
And fundraising cookbooks were huge here. I have one from my church from 50 years ago, and my kids schools put one together.

 

[Lumpy1106]

We have dozens - we don't use any of them. I use the Big Oven app if I want to make something I am not familiar with - it never even occurs to me to get out a cookbook. I guess that's the next thing to go when we do the big spring purge.

 

[Babs Johnson]

We have way over 20 cookbooks, maybe 50. Plus small booklet type ones. In addition, I have two of my mother’s notebooks with hand written recipes and those cut out from magazines and newspapers taped onto the pages. And a binder of ones she printed off the internet.

We probably only use 5 or 6.

 

[BlueStarryHat]

I have at least 25 cookbooks-I used to collect cookbooks from the 50s and 60s. I recently put them into storage because I wasn't using them anymore. If I want a recipe now, I look for it online, and have done for years.
