Default cookery book addiction

Is anyone else as addicted to buying cookbooks as I am- I just can't seem to stop. The worst thing is I only use about 2 recipes from each one.

oooo yes, I'm the same, I just can't resist. They take up so much space too. One day I'll go through the books I think and take them apart to make it into a folder of recipes I use, as there are always a bulk of recipes in a book I am never going to even attempt!

I now have a folder which has fav recipes in - I cut them out of magazines and stick them onto card.

I do love a cookbook, especially when it is on offer on Amazon

I am guilty of buying cookery books and hardly ever using them.

I also have a subscription to Easy Cook magazine but never look at it anymore.

I love cookery books, but I also have my own handwritten one full of recipes I have copied from here, other places on the net, torn out of magazines etc...
