Hmmm, I must have around 10 cookbooks. No, we don't use hardly any much anymore. Maybe 1-2 recipes per cookbook or so.

We have 3 cookbooks focused specifically on Northwest Pacific cuisine. A couple on Asian traditional cuisine +1 with nouveau fusion combined with French cooking styles. Some of them, I get specifically for authentic dishes or techniques..if I don't learn them from mother.
