Cookbooks or Google?

I usually look for recipes online, but people give me cook books as presents sometimes, and then I use them of course. I have maybe 10 cook books, and I think I just got one of those myself, the rest are all presents!

My grandma has a monthly subscription to a cooking magazine, she doesn't like the internet. But me, I just look for recipes online, i like it better if they are from blogs because there is an added personal feel to the recipes.

I have one or two cookbooks - the Rachel Ray and all about Chicken (because my fiance LOVES chicken). Other than that, I get all my recipes online and on magazines. My favorite recipe magazine is Eating Well. I also get recipes from my running magazine. So I guess my answer is that I get my recipes everywhere - from mags to websites to actual cookbooks.

I only have a few cookbooks at home. I find it easier to look for recipes online. Searching online also gives me the chance to compare recipes.

I still prefer to have cookbooks at home because it could be time-saving than to search for recipes online. I mean, at least if you have a cookbook, you do not have to search for the recipe and copy it in a paper before you do the cooking right? I have cookbooks at home that has the usual/day-to-day Filipino recipes. If I would like to cook for a special recipe or for an event once in a while, I'd just search that online.

I still prefer cookbooks, though you are right, it is expensive. Cookbooks are nice since aside from you can always bring the book while you are cooking, it may form part of your book collection. plus I guess since it is printed and bounded, you can keep cookbooks longer than just printing or compiling recipe files from the internet,

Hi, damned_dle. No. I don't buy cookbooks like I used to. I refer to the Internet for free recipes. I agree, the recipe books are expensive, especially when I have to buy them from the book store. I prefer to buy recipes books from the book club through the mail.

It depends on if the cookbook I am interested in has a lot of good recipes or just a few. If it has a lot then I most definitely want the book. Otherwise I would rather find a good recipe online and print it out. I have a 3-ring binder with page protectors that I keep all of my printed recipes in so it's like my "homemade" cookbook and I like it just as good.

i buy cookbookes when i find on on burgening price, that not happening very often. latly i use the ineternet to find something inetersting to cook, or i watch cooking shows, and get the idea out of their. i even not down some of the idea that i like. but the book are books, you can take them and put them on the self right in front of you, so i prefer them and not the net.
