I've just bought..
...about 20 cookbooks from various years and by various authors on Amazon...

I get free delivery cause I bought some other stuff at the same time..

but yes.. I use cookbooks - mainly for inspiration as I'm never going to actually let a book decide how many hoohas or chillies goes in my dinner.

my fave this far is a book consisting entirely of things to do with salmon.. so many ideas in there that I'd never have thought of. Any thing to break the monotony of eating the same 10 dishes over and over..

I have Mrs Beeton's book
All 10 million pages* of it. That, plus 1000 Chocolate Recipes and a Curry Club book and I'm happy.

*May not be 10 million pages.
