Cook Book Review

I thought I would share my beloved and always growing cookbook collection. I have a hard time going into the bookstore and walking out without buying a new cookbook, or any book for that matter! My first cookbook was a huge and had a recipe for almost everything and was given to my by my Aunt Alma at around the age of 20. By then I was a pretty good cook, but I wanted to learn more and with each new recipe came new techniques and new ways to prepare ingredients. I then joined a cookbook club and so my collection started to grow and included books on entertaining. I of course collected many tear sheets and scribblings of recipes and tabletops and created a filing system to handle the chaos. I couldn’t even begin to tell you how many recipes I have, but they span over 10+ binders filled to capacity. Soon those recipes will make it onto this blog.
