My name is Angela, it's been 63 days since my lasy buy - I'm a cookbook addict. I have 80 odd...cookbooks and counting.. i have my eye on two or three i would like to add to my collection. I mean sure, i have no more shelf space, and no i have not even come near to trying every recipe in all those books- i mean people we are talking thousands of recipes!! I have improved though, i have cut down on my purchase of the food magazines.. that's good right?..
So why can't people understand that it's reasonable to have all those cookbooks? They are very informative and inspirational, i refer to them like a reference source. They are a great resource when planning a dinner party or a special function. Or indeed when i'm in the mood to create something new! or lets be honest, just when i feel like flipping through them. Sure it may not be all good for my carbon footprint (sorry trees), but it does bring pleasure (mostly when it works out) to me and to those who get to eat the food. Also i shop local (mostly) so that supports the economy, and i go to growers markets and buy seasonal so helping the environment in that way...
Wow.. ok this is not a problem at all.. it's my lunch break, i'll just run up to the bookshop to get one of those books i have been eyeing as clearly there is no real good reason not to!!
Happy food reading everyone!

Hi Ange,
ReplyDeleteI must confess.. I am a fellow CB addict. My last one was Silver Spoon... my shelves are full, and my Delicious subscription continues to be renewed after 4 or 5 years(!), and I keep them all! I am at the stage where my "Delicious" cupboard is full... so where do I place my upcoming issues...? I guess I don't need a spot for my Jeffrey Archers and Time TRavellers Wife... PLUS, I am more than happy to spend hour(s) scouring through them all for that great recipe!... Happy food reading indeed.
