After that I began collecting cookbooks. Friends gave me old ones that they weren't using and I purchased some for myself. I found myself really enjoying being able to page through and scan the recipes; there's something so appealing about just being able to flip pages and decide what to cook. Yet I find that I get most of my actual recipes from the internet. It's just easier for me to prop my laptop up in the kitchen than a bulky cookbook (plus the thought of getting food on a book terrifies me but getting food on my laptop doesn't worry me).

Has anyone heard of the legendary french chef Edouard Pomiane? His book Cooking with Pomiane with a foreword by Elizabeth David (another of my favourites) published in 1976 is slightly off beat and wonderfully written. Great for fans of true French Food.

A set of two cookbooks I can wholeheartedly recommend are: "Home Cooking" and "More Home Cooking". They were written by Laurie Colwin. A young woman who wrote cooking columns for a popular magazine. I'd loved the columns and loved the books. Would rate them 4 out of 4 stars easily. Both for the food and the stories that accompanied the recipes.
Another set that made my new job easier was written by Elsie Masterton. Originally written in 1963, they are "Blueberry Hill Cookbook" and Blueberry Hill Menu Cookbook". These books tell a lot about the running of a country inn. The food is unique, and she gives much helpful advice about cooking in general. I was drawn to these two because the estate I was working at was named d"Blueberry Hill". I remained there 9 years, though with a 2-year break in the middle.
