Do you still check your recipes in a cookbook?

Hi Marguicha, Me too. I have more than 10 cookbooks which I was able to collect from the time I got married. I can't even remember the time when I last checked recipes on them, not even from my favorite cookbook, the one that features an all-local-dishes. Going online to look for recipes is a lot easier and more convenient, and they are more updated so I prefer to use the internet these days.

Obviouly, I am not the one you wanted me to answer your question. I do not know how to cook and do not have of the these cooking books. I know how to: 1. boil tea, 2. cook rice, fry egg, boil egg, toast bread, and make tea and make a soup of noodules. Beyond on that I have no idea whatsoever on cooking. However, I love to eat.

I have a fave cook book that was given to me by my sister-in-law...it's called the Edmonds cookbook & it's from New Zealand...it's very popular over there too...my hubby being from New Zealand grew up with one in the house & now we have 1 too...the recipes are VERY easy to follow...I am always looking in it to see what I can make.

I still use cookbooks instead of checking online. I'm too old & SAT in my ways. I have alot of faves, Usually i use ones put out by local people.

I still use my cookbooks, although I poke around online more often. I'm most apt to use them when I'm looking for inspiration for something to cook, more than if I'm looking for a specific recipe. One big plus for the online recipes is the reviews that others have written. The suggestions of additions (or changes) are really helpful, especially if I'm looking for a variation to fit the ingredients that I happen to have on hand.

I have never used a cookbook for cooking. I mean I always like to compose something and when cooking I imagine what goes good with certain food. For baking I sometimes read the recipe. But only the ones I rarely bake. I bake quite often and most of our favorites are in my head.

Yes, I do.. especially those major dishes, Sometimes there were some simple things that I often forgets, I'm so forgetful so I do like to open my cookbook. or sometimes even online cookbooks. because there were recipes that were just taught to me so i tend to forget.. thanks marguicha!

cookbooks? recipes?

I have a fantastic set of recipe cards in a nice box in my pantry and they’re great because they cover absolutely everything from breakfasts to party food and buffets. I haven’t used them in a while because we have not done a great deal of entertainment lately. My every day meals are usually very plain and they don’t require recipes.

My husband has a few recipie books, but I have never seen him using them. Some of those books are very old. He got them from his parents and they got some of them as their wedding gifts. These days cooking is very easy and it consumes very little time. If you buy a sauce or a masala, the cover of it has the recipies of things you can make using it. I use internet for some recipes, but I also have some printouts of the recipies which worked out well for me. If some recipes won't work out well, I will try the same thing using a different recipie taken from internet. I still see recipie books for sale in stores.

Hi Marg, I love to cook and i have cookbook collections. Same with you it's been decade since i scanned them last. If i need to check on some recipes i use the internet but most of the time--i do it myself hmmmmmm...i love experimenting on foods. It's a great challenge for me to get the taste i want even if it's my first time to try a new recipe.

Quite often. My computer is no where near my kitchen, so that is little option. Quite often i will compare two or more recipes and mix and match to meet our tastes.

I can't recall anymore when was the last time I used my cookbook. Because I kept them already in the storage room. Since I can always check the recipes online. It's not only accessible, it is already complete and everything is there online unlike with my recipe books.

I started cooking one month now, when me and my bf got new place to live alone. For now i'm cooking only simple things, but i love to fry scrambled eggs with butter and sweet maize, or to make sandwiches in the oven with eggs green onion, sausage and cheese. I love to cook potatoes ... :) Soup, baked, boiled... Mmm ... :) For now i don't have recipes book, but i'll write one for myself, because i love easy dishes, and to improvise with the food we have :)

Hi, I love cooking and once a while I will flip over my recipe book to try new menu for my family. I don't have certain favourite recipe book,as long as,the book give me an easy guide and delicious dish, I will buy that book. I love to cook spicy food.Thai food like tomyam and curry is my favourite. I cook everyday for my family. Most of the time, I will cook Chinese food as my son can't eat spicy food,once a week,then I will cook either curry or rendang as one of the dish.

I have to admid that I also often check on the web, but i do have some favourite books and I do often still check in them for some recipes. I also have a book in which I collect all of my favourite recipes in some when I want to make one off those recipes I just have to take that book and I find everything that I like. I've collected all my favourites in this book, from internet, from my other cookbooks, from friend and family,... So this book is one that I do still use very often.

I like looking at cookbooks but I never follow those recipes when I cook something. The main reason for it is because there are ingredients in the cookbook that I am not familiar with so I dont like it when that happens cause I dont wanna end up thinking what kind of ingredient it is.

Well, I usually use recipes from my collection of Slimming World magazines as I know these are all low fat and healthy meals. I cook most days and have a lot of different recipes to choose from. I usually refer to the magazines but I do change some things around to adapt them.

Since the invention of blogs and youtube, I've never really checked any cookbook anymore. Although I used to save all those can labels with recipes on them and try them the next time I purchase the same product.

I have my cookbook online in a certain website. I am no longer fond of cookbooks that can be bought in bookstores.
