Is it just me, or have recipe books basically become obsolete? I see all these collections of recipes compiled nicely into books, displayed on store bookshelves... but I really never use them. I own a few recipe books and I cook all the time, but when I want a recipe for something that isn't on my tablet's database already, I go to the internet! Allrecipes, eatingwell, yummly--plus there are a million food blogs out there, and with thousands of options for how to make a chicken pot pie, my motivation to go digging through a book for one recipe is pretty low. Modern convenience or a dying art form?
I am the same way Laura! My mom has started a project where she goes through all of her cookbooks and copies out the recipes she likes to condense from a library of cook books to just a binder. Those that are family favorites she puts in a shared google doc folder so we can all access them.
ReplyDeleteThat's smart. I'm about at that point now because my database is clogging up my memory on this thing!
