« on: October 30, 2017, 01:06:59 am »
I go to the library and get cookbooks and try to make different kinds of meals. I do not buy any books tho.

I hardly ever use a cook book, with the Internet at my fingertips and searching that is so easy and accurate.

I don't use cookbooks, only if I want a meal that is extreme. I have one large cookbook.  :cat:

I normally just go to the internet for recipes. It keeps cost down from buying a cookbook since most of the recipes can be found on the internet.

I usually save the recipes I like from the internet onto my computer.

I do have a few cookbooks at home. I sometimes go through one and look for a picture of something I think looks good and easy to fix.

I have two cookbooks that I would be excited to put to use, but have inexcusably thus far not put to work.  :( I guess I felt like the ingredients would be too pricey to fit into my total food budget for the week.

Yes, I do use cookbooks because I have old, favorite recipes that I refer to over and over again.  It's so easy and familiar and comforting to know exactly where to find the recipes I've been using for years.  But if I'm looking for something specific or something new and different to cook, I usually go to the Internet.

No I don't use a cookbook when I cook but I find my recipes on the internet and save them, also I watch youtube for some recipes.

When i cook, i just cook what i know how to make. If i am trying to cook something new than i would try and do it myself then if i cant i would just use the internet to search what i am trying to cook.
