Cookbooks

I love cookbooks! The older I've become and the more I cook and bake, the more I enjoy getting ideas and inspiration from cookbooks. It's a fun collection to have and I love the way they look displayed in a kitchen space.

For Christmas I got a new book I'm very excited about. (Thanks Lindsey!) It's a cookbook my Mom has had for ages (the original came out in the late 1970's). It's handwritten and has little illustrations. It's really beautiful to read and look at. Now I'd just like to try some recipes!
I found this cookbook when I went home last year and my Mom and I were doing a lot of food experimenting. I got it from Amazon when I went back home and I devoured it. So many great ideas, tips, and recipes.

I saw this book in Urban Outfitters and did a little skim. I absolutely adore the layout and the photography. It's brilliant.

Heidi Swanson is a cook genius. I love her 101cookbooks blog and her beautiful images. Now I'd just like the cookbook in my kitchen.

Just read the cover of this book. It's a no-duh. "Protect the Earth, Improve Your Health, and Eat Deliciously" Sure!

There are so many great cookbooks out there. What is your tried and true cookbook? What do you have in your kitchen or what do you want in your kitchen?

  1. I read through the purple cookbook at your mom's house too. I was fascinated. You're so inspiring to eat more natural. I know it takes time to learn what you've learned and implemented. I wish I could just automatically know what you know!

  2. Just stopped by your blog somewhat randomly, and I'm enjoying your love affair with food. Thanks for the posts! Will be looking at some of these books.
