My Cookbook List

I love looking at others' cookbooks so I thought you might like a look at mine. If you want to know more, you might like to read

• my reflections on cookbooks
• more information on some of my favourite cookbooks
• update on cookbook purchases April 2010
• cooking from cookbooks in 2011 in the Cookbook Challenge 
• a peek at my cookbook shelves and piles (2012)

Please consider this list a work in progress - and not updated very often. 

Update 2024 - I don't use my cookbooks much but occasionally love to look at them and use them.  Some have gone out and I rarely buy them but a cookbook to hold and browse is still a joy compared to online recipes.
