Hi all,

How do you manage to even go through all those books, never mind making and testing the recipes? I think that I would end up getting so confused that I wouldn’t even know what to make.

I have about 10 cookbooks and a scapbook that I paste recipes into cut out of magazines etc. Funnily enough I find that most of my favourite recipes come from the scrap book.

An awesome collection though, must have a pretty be bookshelf for that lot.

Janne thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and to leave me a comment.

I’m forever adding to my collection and now have two bookshelves in the kitchen and two freestanding units in my bedroom, but there’s always a stack on the kitchen table and on my bedside table to sort too.

I’ve never heard of Deborah Madison or Jacques Pepin so I’ll look them up. I’d love a Julia book but have yet to get one.

Greetings from northwest Canada

Lord in heaven, you have more cook books than I do! I have cook book shelves in four places in our home. That doesn’t count the rotating stack on the dining table. How I find time to work I will never know.

I am a slave to Nigel Slater’s writing & to Nigella’s Feast & Christmas books and I would happily sell my grand kids for a meeting with Madhur Jaffrey. I also adore Deborah Madison (I don’t think you have any of her), Jacques Pepin & of course Julia.

What a wonderful blog you have.

Thank you so much for your very complimentary comment, you’ve put a very big smile on my face I’m so pleased to hear you like my blog!!

I’ve just bought a couple of new books that I need to pop on the list but other than that I think it’s up to date (although I keep thinking it is and finding another book lurking LOL).

I do buy some books as soon as they come out, Amazon recommendations and belonging to a food forum with many other cookery book ‘addicts’ are dangerous things

Wow, what a book list! Is it up to date yet?? Do you still buy new ones as soon as they come out? I have many the same as you, but there are plenty on here that I would love! Your blog is amazing and truly inspirational.

Hi Michelle, nice to see you here. It’s strange how we build up different book collections isn’t it, I don’t consciously think geographically when I buy them though but I’m sure it has some impact.

I would love to come by and spend hours browsing through your cook book collection! My collection has been accumulating (breeding?) for over 30 years now. It’s amazing that we only have 8 books in common. I detect a strong regional difference in our collections. Living all my life in the greater San Francisco area has strongly influenced my cook book selections.
