Do you collect cookbooks? I've got a pretty good start going. What kind of cookbooks do you like best? I like the community or church cookbooks the best. I've got probably 50 of those. Do you like Mexican or Jewish cookbooks? I have got many of those, also. What 'type of food' cookbook do you have alot of? Thanks in advance.

I've got a collection; but I have no clue how many! I like the little ones that came with items you bought. I got quite a few a year ago when my Grammy passed away. My fav is Better Homes and Gardens! I tend to look through and find new things to try and then end up putting my own twist on it to make it "mine." I like all the old ones the best.

Yes, I have a collection of cookbooks. I agree with you, that the community & church cookbooks are the best. I feel the the recipes in them are tried and true. I don't have as many of them as you do! I don't have a Mexican or Jewish cookbook. I have lots of Taste of Home magazines, and Quick Cooking magazines.

I have quite a few, but I never use them until the holidays. I don't even think about them most of the time.

I DO collect cookbooks... i guess i started about 4-5 years ago and im at around 350 books so far. Most of them (maybe 60%) are baking cookbooks, which is my favorite actually. What i love about cookbooks is being able to sit down and just browse, enjoy, and daydream! :P
