I use them pretty evenly. I love to get new cookbooks. I have gotten rid of some since I went vegan 5 yrs ago.

I mostly look for recipes on line. However, I do have a collection of favorite cookbooks that I display in my kitchen. I will pull one of these out from time to time and cook with. :)

I don't have any cookbooks. I believe that is cause I can look everything up now.I am part of the tech age where everything went to online as I was growing up. I will probably buy a cook book eventually to have on hand when internet isn't available

Well, there are plenty of cookbook within my home, but I don't personally use them.
I feel I have a more diverse opportunity by looking into things online before I make something. It also allows me to be more creative while taking up less time.

Not sure if any of you look at the cooking site of the New York Times (cooking.nytimes), but that's normally the first place I look to really kick things off.

I've bought several cookbooks but I prefer to find recipes on pinterest. Im obsessed with pinterest, they have pretty much anything you can think of and you can search for specific diet trends.

I do have a lot of cookbooks, as a matter of fact I actually collected them until my daughter convinced me I should really donate them since I didn't use them. I did keep the ones that I have used. Now I find myself on Pinterest a lot, I have pinned a lot of different recipes that I have found through the emails I receive. I have actually found so many that I never make the same thing twice! Happy Holidays!

The absolute best cookbooks are typically found for sale at yard sales for around fifty cents!

I have a few cookbooks..I prefer them over online as if the dish turns out amazing, I always forget on which website I saw it on.That is not the case with the books.

I found out recently that cookbooks are still best sellers despite the fact that so many recipes are posted online every day with videos and detailed instructions. I prefer online recipes as they are easy to store and modify. It would be nice to gather them into a custom cookbook just for myself so that I don't need a tablet or phone in the kitchen all the time to look at the recipes.

I stop buy cooking books and I don't read recipe online too. I just browse YouTube when I want to cook something. It is easier with the cooking video.. :)

I like to watch cooking videos online as they help me while cooking more than books. Videos provide a clarity and a better understanding of how to cook a particular dish.

I own so many cooking books that I've decided a few years ago to stop buying them. Therefore I've been surfing the web a lot for new delicious recipies.

I prefer looking online for recipes than cooking books. Some cooking books can be misleading.
