Ranked #5,005 in Food, #110,861 overall

I admit it.  I'm a foodie.  I have a cookbook collection that exceeds 1200 volumes, and still growing. I read cookbooks like others read novels.

And 5 PM sees me searching the net to find that perfect recipe for tonight's dinner.

I'm delighted to share my passion with you.  Donna

The places to start on your recipe treasure hunt

I have over 1000 cookbooks in my collection. But I always begin with my favorite internet recipe sites.

Nigella recipes
I'm a great fan of Nigella Lawson, her TV series "Nigella Bites" and her cookbooks and New York Times food columns. Now she has an online recipe search. What's fun about Nigella is she's not a chef...she's a foodie. Great fun.

Favorite cookbooks 

Because you can never have too many cookbooks

At last count, I had over 1000 cookbooks. I find cookbooks are inspiration for creating my own recipes, and I love the older ones for what they say about the way we lived back when.
