Cookbooks

I am a cookbook junkie! Just search by LibraryThing library to see. Anyway, I just found TasteBook, a site that lets you make your own cookbook. My husband gets annoyed when I print out recipes and keep them all over the house :) So this sounded perfect! I started playing right away. It looks like the book will cost at least $35 – which I guess isn’t too bad if I get to customize the book and make it my own … but I don’t completely! I still can’t upload recipe images and the extra fields don’t seem to want to format the way I want (they keep putting it double spaced).

Now, if you’re an Epicurious member you can link to your account there and you actually do get pictures … but only the ones from the Epicurious site.

I guess for now I’ll just stick to browsing the discount racks at Borders and Barnes & Noble – but if TasteBook upgrades anytime soon – let me know, because I’m intrigued.

    For two people who both have a lot of cookbooks listed in LibraryThing (http://www.librarything.com/profile/thornton37814), I’m surprised we don’t share more than 3 titles (and only one of those is a cookbook).

    Hehe – guess we better both get out there and buy some more ;)

    Guess I need to add all my cookbooks to librarything and compare notes! I leave recipes all over the house too. I thought we librarian types were supposed to be organized. :-)

    If you know where your recipes are – then you are organized :) It’s in our professional life that we have to help others find things.

    I went to see which cookbooks we share, and was so surprised to see none! Then, I realized I haven’t made it to my cookbook case yet, and only have a fraction of them on LT. And seriously, if Food Network would just let me perpetually save the recipes of theirs I want, I would have to print out so many of them!
