Books

Cookbooks are just about the only thing I collect. I love going online for food inspiration, but to me nothing beats holding a cookbook in my hands. I love them for their recipes, pictures, educational components, and inspiring stories. I also like reading about food (not just how to make it), so you will see a few non-cookbook books in this list. Any recommendations are welcomed—just leave a comment!
