I have a nice collection of cookbooks. I enjoy looking at them and discovering a new recipe to try, sometimes with a few changes to make it more palatable for my family's tastes. Many are gifts that remind me of loving family members and friends who cared to give something to enjoy for many years. Some are used cookbooks that I found on the internet, at the library book sale, or at a fund raiser book sale. You will find cookbooks in almost every room in our house as I carry them around never knowing when I'll get the inspiration to look up a recipe for something I haven't tried, yet. Part of the reason that I wrote my own cookbook is because I usually change the directions and/or the ingredients in recipes that I find in a cookbook or online. If someone asks for my recipe or if I want to repeat it for my family or guests, I have to keep notes of the changes I make.
