Show me your recipe book shelf(ves)

[KoreanBeauty]

Inspired by a thread I was reading, realised some people own 100s recipe books! Can we have a fun thread and see what everyone’s recipe book shelf/shelves/bookcases etc look like?

Well, you have to go first...

Mostly cook books…

WOW😍 what a dream! Do you use them often? How come you have so many!?

Which one, I have several shelves😅. I do love my cook books, but I wanted an autumn cake recipe today and after flicking through a few (many) books I looked online! Still love my books though and may yet use a book recipe for a cake tomorrow.

I don’t have many anymore.
I tend to use them more for inspiration rather than actually following the recipes and I found that if there were any recipes I did follow once I’d cooked them a few times I no longer referred to the book. Since I realised this I tend to borrow them from the library or just get recipes online

Just realised my picture didn’t actually attach! Two seem to be missing. A curry one and Persiana, both of which are the only two I actually follow recipes from. I bet dd has nicked them and taken them to uni 😂 Seem to have gained a Jamie Oliver one and mug cake one which I’m pretty sure are hers in place 🤔
Wagamama one is ds’. I don’t like the pinch of nom one and don’t really use any of the others. Could probably get rid but I do like to have a few to flick through.
