do you buy cook books anymore?

Never. I like to eat more but cooking is so iritating. So I never bought cooking books any more.

I don't buy cookbooks and rarely use the ones I do have. Like you said, there are a lot of recipes online. If you are looking for something specific you can usually find it. My main source of recipes is a magazine I receive from Kraft Foods called "What's Cooking". I get some fantastic recipes out of there that I cook over and over again.

i have never really been into cooking but i do borrow cookbooks from the library sometimes when i am looking for something special. i don't think i have ever bought a cook book the whole time i have been married (25 years this fall). my hubby is a much better cook than i am. i am an artist so that is where my brain is! lol!

I have some of my late mother-in-laws cookbooks and I am trying to find places where I can sell them. On Amazon I can only get a penny for each one and that is not worth it. I am not sure why she had so many cookbooks since she never used them as she always created her own dishes. I go online to get recipes whenever I need them.

Before I moved I had about 50 cookery books, I was buying them all the time. However when I moved from a large 4 bedroomed Victorian house to a small rural cottage I got rid of all my cookery books and now have just 5, but I mainly get recipes now from the internet if I'm looking for something different. Also after 40 years in the catering business I have a huge library of recipes actually in my head!!

No I don't buy cookbooks. The internet is free so I can't see spending money for a cookbook.

An interesting question to ask, since I am the author of a cookbook of Danish recipes written in English. I took the internet into consideration when I wrote it and made it available as an eBook (PDF) as well as an actual book for those who may not want to download recipes.

We do not buy cook books anymore as just about every kind of recipe is available online or on magazines articles. I believe there is no need to buy cookbooks anymore.

I do not buy cook books. The last cook book I GOT was when i got married. that has beeb like 42 years ago. I have a lot of recipes I got through the years. And there is recipes that I never tryed making. Also if I do need a recipe for something you an fine most recipes online.

Yes, people still do buy cookbooks. There are cookers that do not know what they are doing, but they do not realize that they can just go online. There are recipes online though that do not give good details with recipes.

Last time I purchased a cook book was years ago when I saw one on sale for a specific hard-to-find ethnic food.

I like to experiment with my own recipes and never buy cook books. Besides, South African dishes are great and there is a great variety of food from different cultures to choose from. Also with the advent of the internet, one can go online quickly for thousands of recipes and a book is not necessary in this case. I did buy one book on Indian delicacies and starters but that was about twenty years ago.

Yes, I am buying cook books to make different dishes everyday Sometimes its hard to plan a weekly menu but through cook book I easily choose what and which type food that I going to prepare for the whole week.

I am not very sure that any one buys such books any more. You sea there are supplements in newspapers every week or so in shape of books and then you have readily available online for your ready reference besides one of your friend willing to help over the phone there is almost no scope of books on this subject.

Hello 3Snuggles. I don't buy many books of any kind any more because of room to put them and time to read them. With the internet it is unnecessary to buy cook books. I have three or four web sites that send recipes to my email box There is one kind of cook book I would buy and that is one that has some history in it.Years ago I lived in Nebraska and I found a cook book called Nebraska pioneer cooking.. It has recipes from that time period and it also has stories about some of the people that cooked the recipes and stories of that era and area. Now if I found another cook book like that I would buy it.

i get them at yard sales..i'd never pay a "brand new" price,but i still prefer the text in front of me.

I stop cooking right now but when I need new recipe I just look at online. I have lots of recipe books here form my mom. The last time I bought it is when I still don't have computer to research. Now that there is other way to knew some kind of dishes, I can save more money from buying recipe book. I also don't have space for new books here in my house. Some books are just kept and hide.

I do actually like buying a cookbook here and there. I have a few and I like that they are in the kitchen when you might get a whim to grab one. I do know that you can find most anything online but I guess I am the constant book advocate..lol.

I have a whole shelf full of cookbooks that I never see so I don´t buy them anymore. I do like to read recipes online, basically to see pictures to inspire me at the plating stage. The only cook book I fondly check once in a while is "The joy of cooking" in a vintage edition.

The web is convenience for recipes. But i still like cook books because it makes me feel more accessible to a certain recipe. Another thing, the web contains far too much recipes and info that may confuse people. It is easy for one to spend a whole day just searching for a vegetarian pizza recipe, for example. The tons of info may delay the actual cooking. But this case doesn't happen for cook books, unless you have much money and you can buy a lot of books. Some cook books are nicely illustrated and can be seen as an artwork.
