Today a friend send me to foodblog links 101 cookbooks is one of them.
It’s a lovely made blog , a recipe journal. It primarily features healthy, vegetarian recipes – with the occasional sweet treat thrown in.
The about text could be from me only that I did not find the time for all that cooking 🙁
Go check it out – It’s inspiring!
“About 101 Cookbooks
The premise this site was built on is best summed up in two sentences: When you own over 100 cookbooks, it is time to stop buying, and start cooking. This site chronicles a cookbook collection, one recipe at a time.
101 Cookbooks started in early 2003 when I looked up at my huge cookbook collection one afternoon and realized that instead of exploring the different books in my collection – I was cooking the same recipes over and over. I seemed to buy a new cookbook every time I stepped out the front door – always with good intentions. I would regularly go through my collection of books and magazines and carefully tag each recipe that piqued my interest. I ended up with shelves full of books brimming with Post-it notes and drawers full of recipes clipped from my favorite magazines – neatly organized by course, flavor, region, or ingredient.
I made a resolution (although it turns out that I wasn’t very good at keeping it). I would stop buying cookbooks, or at least scale back, and start trying new recipes. In the process I hoped to learn new techniques, explore unfamiliar ingredients, discover/keep track of new recipes, document my successes and failures, and hopefully inspire other cooks to do the same.
The site has evolved a bit since the early days. Now I choose and write about the recipes that intersect my life, my travels, and my everyday interests – often they are from my cookbook collection, sometimes not – they might come from a friend or family member, or I might write about a recipe I created myself. I focus primarily on natural, whole foods and ingredients.”
