CBA (Cookbook Buyers Anon) - Harborwitch - 05-03-2013
I MUST be stopped! There is an amazing used bookstore in town - I'm cruising it for Celebrate the Rain - but no luck today! Instead I found - "Tortillas - The El Paso Chile Company" by W.Park Kerr (OMG) and the bonus book "the ARK - Cuisine of the Pacific Northwest" (the Ark Restaurant Cookbook - with forward by James Beard. This one is autographed by the Chefs! Amazing recipes! Now I just need time to cook!

They are hard to resist, I know.

I hope you do find the Celebrate book- it sure has some great ideas.
I'm going to be contacting a local used book store and also the college culinary program to see if any of my books that I'm finally parting with will be of any value to them.
You should see the book 'area' in the house divided between 'we're keeping' and 'we're adopting out' I have to stay away from it or I slowly pick one or two to put back to save.

Do we need to enroll you in a 12 step program Sharon? And Jean?
Have fun with your new books!
Re: CBA (Cookbook Buyers Anon) - Harborwitch - 05-03-2013
I think it'll take more than 12 steps for me. My only excuse was that they are little books. LOL

12 steps? Sounds like a recipe to me! CBA membership would, effectively, be one massive codependency.

I am going to have to quit or find more hiding places.

Good luck, Jean!

We had a thread on the old CI forum dedicated to cookbooks one part enabling, the other helping to kick the habit. I am very proud of myself in that I've not bought a new cookbook in a long time (not counting Modernist Cuisine at Home which is not a cookbook as much as an encyclopedia,
)I have to get rid of a bookshelf (not stable) and the cookbooks in it. No other place, so as in the TJ Max ad, I can't buy a new cookbook until I get rid of an old one.
I love reading cookbooks as much as I like cooking from them (probably more) so I appreciate your finds. I hope you enjoy reading them.
