Do people still use physical, paper copy cook books?

[JC gull]

I still paper cookbooks. but now tend to download onto my tablet as I've run out of shelf space .

[Lost Star]

No! You are not alone. My dad still uses cook books.

[Chizioboli]

I do so I could tell my grandchildren I kept books...lol

[megachirops]

I have a number of "old favorites" that I still use from cookbooks or printed copies. But for quite a while now, any time I go looking for new recipes or ideas, it's all online.

I love cooking from handwritten recipes from friends and family. I think that is the most fulfilling way to get recipes. I love the connection it gives you to the past and your family members. I also really enjoy writing out my own recipes on paper rather than a document on the computer. Even in college, I enjoyed sitting down to write recipes in a notebook. I would call my mom a lot and she would tell me her recipes and I would write them down. I think physical recipes are the way to go.

my grandma and some aunties have lots of cook books and they have great recipes

i also wan't to buy a cook book that has plant-based, zero waste recipes

[ceelo_reads]

I do.

I prefer using physical copy books when possible.

I like flipping through the pages when cooking.

I don't like staying online for TOO long, even though I use the internet quite a bit.


The internet is more efficient. But I am finding that unless there is an absolutely critical/urgent need, life is often better spent just a little less "efficient".

I don't use a cook book. Prefer to just log on to YouTube and watch the tutorial then practice till perfection.

Cook books is the only category that I don't prefer printed books.

On my part of the world, recipes are transferred by word of mouth. So we are not used to using a copy book

[Elysian83]

Absolutely not...I prefer the physical book myself as well. I enjoy to underline words I don't know, important things that pops out to me and to be able to smell the book, LOL. I have read only 2 e- books my whole life. I love physical books. I have to have physical I'm very old school.

I am with you Kagrant89, I love physical books; unfortunately, I don't have as much space as I would like for all of them

In my family also we have a tradition, we make our personal cookbooks that stay in the family.

Sorry for being old fashioned but ebooks can never replace paper books. Be it novels or recipe books.

[Susan Gibbs]

I still use old-fashioned paper cookbooks. I find it easier to use a book than to print recipes from the internet. If I print from the internet, then I misplace the papers afterwards. I have a few books with trusted recipes that I turn back to all the time.
