Eat your books - any good?

I just heard of this website yesterday, though it's now obvious it's been going for years.
Does anyone use it? If so, do you make good use of it? I've signed up for a free membership and it looks good at the moment but I'm well aware that might just be the novelty effect of something new.
I really want to eat more food from scratch as I've got into that rut and I'm hoping it will help. But it would be nice to hear if anyone actually uses it regularly.
Thanks

I’ve had a subscription for years and use it all the time. But I have over two hundred cook books and use it to search recipes from my books.

I've had it for 5 years, & think it's brilliant.
I have about 90 cookbooks, & most of them are indexed on EYB, so it's easy to find recipes. The few not indexed are either very old or niche.

It's also very good for finding recipes to use up ingredients - especially filtering by your own recipes or on-line.
e.g.
Sad spinach in the fridge, & half a jar of sun-dried tomatoes that need using.
EYB found 202 on-line recipes.
There's also a forum to ask questions that works very well - the site owners are very helpful & knowledgeable.

Thank you both. That's really helpful. I do have a lot of books and always end up with more for Christmas and birthdays too. I have tended to end up getting one or two recipes I like from each and just making them over and over (to the point I don't even need to look at the recipe) and forgetting about others.
I think it could be very useful to me particularly to help me use up ingredients to stop waste.

I used it for free for about a year and then got a subscription. I think I'm on my third yearly subscription now. I really like it and often use it to choose what to cook first from a book. Also just to snoop on the recipes in a book before buying.
