I love cookbooks, but i barely follow all the steps because i think some steps are unnecessary or i have a better way myself to handle it.Gravy wrote: ↑05 Jul 2016, 03:30 Seeing how very many people prefer the internet to cookbooks nowadays, I find myself wondering exactly what it would take to make you pick one up?
It seems to me that just offering recipes isn't enough, so what else could someone add to a "cookbook" that would make it worth your time?
I know there are quite a few authors who've included different recipes that are related in some way to their book, but what is the reverse of this?
I suppose making it into a pseudo memoir could work. Goodness knows I'd probably give it a second look

Another important thing is that it doesn't use too many different ingredients that I normally don't own. If I have to buy about 10 bottles/bags of ingredients only to use them once, I won't buy it.

However, the cookbooks I have are from the 60s and I even have recipes from the great depression that my great grandmother saved. I love a super simple recipe, and the older recipes are simple. I flip through newer books and I want to make sure I don't have to have all kinds of gadgets to make the food and that its something a beginner could follow. If I want to try something new, the family books are my go to before the internet.

Do you have any channels you recommend? I often find videos much easier to follow than written words.
