I enjoyed the way you wrote about your ever growing collection of cookbooks - aren´t we all the same, one day I swear I will never buy another cookbook, the next day, I am ordering a new one...oftentimes, they are just too wonderful to resist!<br /><br />Very nice post, Beth!

Bonnie Stern is a Canadian chef and cookbook writer, and her books were some of the first I bought after I got married.Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01681732058311386672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841645566318950865.post-52798726005604829952012-09-26T09:15:21.911-04:002012-09-26T09:15:21.911-04:00I have so many cookbooks my husband finally devote...I have so many cookbooks my husband finally devoted a large closet for my books and built me a large bookshelf to house them. I haven't looked at the Penny Whistle book in ages. If my memory is correct I think Tom Brokaws wife authors that - Meredith. Bonnie Stern Writes books with her husband, right, or am i thinking of someone else? Ina's books are wonderful. In fact I always recommend hers to my students. They're so user friendly with photos for each recipe. <br /><br />This pasta looks yummy. Can't say I've tried it but will save it to try. <br />Vicki Bensingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08454176256941372252noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8841645566318950865.post-6454092887342183152012-09-25T22:01:37.819-04:002012-09-25T22:01:37.819-04:00Thanks for the tip on this new cookbook Beth.

I'm like you in referencing the same 3 cookbooks over and over, and neglecting the rest...but those old ones come in handy at times. Two weeks ago I wanted to make my hubby a carrot cake for his birthday, and I remembered the mouthwatering carrot cake that was made weekly at the dude ranch I worked at in college. I pulled out the old recipe book from that year (a very casually-put-together old thing that the woman who did the cooking made for the staff) and made it. So I don't throw cookbooks out. I find myself using foodnetwork.com a lot, too.

I decided it was time, because like you, I realized I didn't use them any more except for the occasional recipe.
