I'm the same as you Eagle, I love collecting cookbooks...I have over 200 now and I can promise you that I haven't tried recipes from each one..but after seeing the movie Julie & Julia I vowed to my husband that one year after we retire I will make a meal from a different cookbook each day for a year...:) In the meantime I love to read them...some of the homespun cookbooks written by organizations as fundraisers have some great ideas in them..and other simply remind me of a nice visit to a different town or a great restaurant where I purchased the cookbook.
