I have a goal to use the many cookbooks and magazines, I own. Right now, they take up a lot of space on shelves, yet many never leave their home in the bookcase. I have decided to make myself accountable to make better use of as many of these as possible.
Internet recipes are abundant whether from blogs or generalized cooking sites or brand name recipes. I print up many exciting new recipes and I make a quarter of them. Being realistic, I know, I can’t cook every recipe that appeals to me. What I can do is diversify my sources and I am hoping this blog is going to help me do just that.
I hope that you are going to see recipes from a variety of sources, adapted to the needs and tastes of my wonderful family.
If you have recommendations for blogs or Internet sites, I welcome them. Feel free to leave the URLs in a comment with the title of the site. I will attempt to honor your suggestions.
Casey, thank you for leaving a comment on my blog (http://savorysundays.wordpress.com/) – I really appreciate it!
Bookcase foodie, I can so empathize with you! I have yards of bookshelves with many books and magazines bookmarked with little flags and I find it very hard to get to even one fourth of them (and that’s not counting with blogs!). I think my New Year’s resolution would be to make or bake one recipe from each of the cookbooks or magazines I own, working my way down from the upper bookcase or top of the pile as the case may be… Thanks for the inspiration and for your visit to Farine! Let me know if you bake the honey cakes.
I’ve been spending a little time at your blog, especially looking through the baked goods category, and I’ve already bookmarked some recipes! I’ll certainly be visiting again. And thank you for leaving a comment at my blog.
I certainly identify with your goals! I have sworn off buying new cookbooks and limited cooking magazine subscriptions to my ipad since I haven’t cooked everything in the ones that I bought before. Good luck!
I recently reorganized all my books and realized that I have more cookbooks than “science” books for college. Oops. I need to use all of them more often, too.
