Just sorting through my rather large stash of recipe books and most of them are going! We've got a fundraising book sale on Sunday in Tapanui and as almost all the recipes that I use are online these days, I don't need em! I've still got some favourites that I can't bring myself to get rid though!

I've condensed 2 shelves that were 2 deep and top to bottom full into one shelf one row deep! It looks really bare, no doubt I'll have it full with junk in no time! *sigh* TM recipes is the first place I always go when I need a recipe these days! :o) Thankyou all you wonderful cooks and your fantastic recipes!

arnt we all guilty of that!! - loads of cookbooks, but they are lovely to have a look over every now and then. I think a ringbinder or clearfile of favs / must have receipes and then as you say the net - I got the most amazing chocolate fudge sauce recipe online I couldnt have found a better one in my books if I had looked thru all of them and that would have taken me hours - times have changed!!!! good on you poster 1and theres always the photocopier for any that you dont want to part with.

..and to read at leisure now and then!They are just books, after all, and I love to read from my cookbooks without the slightest guilt that I am not up at the stove splattering them.

I still love my books, like others I love to just browse thru them at times,but use online recipes as well. However I do like recipes that members post and recommendas tried and true,rather than just hitting google and being a bit hit and miss.

Same here, Some of the old recipe books are outrageous now, We just don't eat those foods any more." KISS", in our house now
