The Cookbook Project


I am addicted to cookbooks.  I currently own 30 cookbooks and cannot seem to help myself from yearning every time I come across a new one.  I do love to cook, but the sad truth is, I have made pathetic little use of my treasured collection.  In the name of convenience I'm always surfing the web for new recipes, and once read (yes, I read most of my cookbooks cover to cover) my beautiful books often sit on a shelf collecting dust.  This birthday, upon receipt of four new cookbooks, I came to the conclusion that this neglect is a crime and simply cannot continue.  Out of this new resolve, the cookbook project was born.

The cookbook project has one simple goal - make use of every cookbook in my collection.  I will consider every recipe.  I will use my cookbooks to build my daily meals and I will chronicle my progress here.  I love photography and will work to make my food beautiful as well as delicious.  With that said, on to the kitchen!
