I’ve been a cookbook collector for 27 years. I connect to people through their recipes. Anytime I am traveling or experiencing a new place, I always look for the cookbooks & recipes of the region. Food tells me so much about a person or place. I love experiencing other peoples lives through the food they eat. I feel like I’m immersing myself into their culture. Cookbook collecting is an innate passion of mine.
My current collection consists of 110 cookbooks and today I am going to share the five that I reach for the most often. While these five are not the only cookbooks I use and certainly not all of my favorites, I tried my best to narrow it down for you. In no particular order, here are my five go-to’s. Enjoy!
