Hello, my name is Debra. I have a problem. (That’s the first step, correct?)
As the books start to stack up everywhere, I have to admit I have a problem with novels, biographies, memoirs, anthologies, art books…and COOKBOOKS.
In my mind, I make multiple commitments and resolutions NOT to buy any more cookbooks.
Then, I read a review. I must have it!
Or, I find a rare retro cookbook in an antique shop. It’s too good to pass up.
Sometimes, I am searching the web and find out a favorite cookbook author has published a new one (like Ruth Reichl, most recently Rachel Saunders, or in the past Anthony Bourdain, RIP). I have to complete my sets.
Then, someone sends me a cookbook to review. But, that doesn’t count, right?
One Saturday recently, I had the time and energy to start a list of my cookbook library. I really want to create a definitive list….Can a definitive list be infinite?
Stay tuned for highlights from these many cookbooks. I vow (at least to try my darndest) to post a recipe from the featured cookbook of the week from my collection.
We will see if I can follow through with this or not…..
(I tried to do a Cookbook of the Month theme a few years ago with less than a modicum of success.)
Wish me luck!
