Sure you can browse recipes online, but there’s nothing like a well-loved cookbook cracked open next to your stove. Is your current collection full of old standards, or are there some new and more health-conscious ones on your shelves? Today, evaluate your cookbooks and decide if it’d be a good idea to invest in an updated healthful addition.

(Here are some cookbooks we think are great: The Healthy Kitchen, Isabel’s Cantina: Bold Latin Flavors from the New California Kitchen, Super Natural Cooking, and The Vegetable Dishes I Can’t Live Without.)

Will be picking up The Bread Baker’s Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread by Peter Rienhart on the way home from work. A suggestion to other people would be More-With-Less Cookbook (World Community Cookbook) by Doris Longacre. Very helpful and very healthy recipes.

I enjoy picking up cookbooks every week at the public library. I just can’t stick to one.

I like looking through cookbooks, but then again, I don’t because I start feeling hungry… and I never actually cook what’s in the books.. they seem to take to long LOL!!

I have compiled a cookbook from recipes I use from other cookbooks. My sister also emails me healthy recipes to try — and they’re actually good.

My friend challenged me to try Thai cooking with a new cookbook complete with Thai music I can play while cooking!

Cookbooks I love them but now dedicate my time to my food and cooking website www.inyourkitchen.com. You can still read the recipes but every recipe also haves a video of a chef cooking the dish so you can watch and cook along with your favorite chef.
