Love and 100% agree with everything you’ve said here. There are worse ways to spend one’s time and money than lost in the pages of a cookbook or browsing in a bookshop. ❤️
Love a good cookbook browse! Local charity shops can be gold too: I managed to find a copy of Hamlyn’s All Colour Cookbook which was the bible in my house as a kid. It was only €1 and I gave it to my niece so she can make the frosted Devil’s Food Cake, it was the height of fancy in the 1980s 😆

Had a feeling this would resonate with you in particular! No bigger champion of cookbooks!
I do this more for fiction books but I get what you are saying, I do after all have 250 cookery books !
Love that too! We’re not massive fiction readers but if we were we would be the exact same!

Charity shops are a truly special form of cookbook browsing –– when you find that ellusive title or that total bargain it's worth its weight in gold!
Love to read through a cookery book then make up my own recipes.... Sometimes a success 😁
We are the exact same –– too fond of a riff! Sometimes it pays off, sometimes it puts you in your place, either way that's the joy of cookery!
