I love cookbooks and have tons and TONS... right now I am trying to collect most of the Gooseberry Patch ones and have to have dh keep a list in his wallet so we dont buy duplicates. I love ones with pictures and love, love TOH ones. I have got my famous tilapia with jasmine rice published in TOH and have a few published in some GBP. I will find any excuse to buy a cookbook lol. I like practical cookbooks, nothing strange or difficult. Simple ordinary everyday family recipes.</p>
