Order off amazon.co.uk as the postage is free if you spend 25 quid and the exchange rate makes the books a real bargin.

Wouldnt it be fantastic to have a wall full of cookbooks to drool over, just something about them even if you never use a recipe from them!

I've got quite a few shelves of them - just part of several walls of books.A cookbook is just another book - good reading, even if you use only one or two recipes from each.or none :)

You have to compare prices though as with book depository they can often be a bit higher. I just bought 3 cookbooks off amazon.co.uk.one you can't get here and the other 2 cost $75 each. I paid $62 all up. Pretty good really!

Sadly, I have started listing several hundred of my old recipe book collection as we moved to a smaller home with only one shelf for my recipe books- sad to see them go as some I have had since I got interested in cooking at school some 40 years ago! Hard to decide what to keep and what to let go.

I'm looking forward to inheriting my Nana's cookbook one day, Mum has promised me that she will pass it on when she is done with it. Nana had the best whitebait fritter recipe and made the most delicious apple and rhubarb shortcake - actually it would be awesome to publish it as a cookbook, it's full of great wholesome old-fashioned recipes
