Will you buy a cooking book with a language you don't know?

if you really liked it you should have bought, it would have been an interesting conversation piece and you could use the internet or maybe look at a library to try and translate the recipes.

I wouldn't really see the point in buying a cookbook that I could not read. If I buy one, I want to be able to use it and I can't use it if I can't read it!

no, I do not think that I would spend the money on a cookbook that I could not read the recipes for. I tend to be a practical person and a cookbook is practical when the recipes are used.

No, I wouldn't buy a cook book in a language I don't know. The meal wouldn't come out right. And it would take me forever to translate it on the internet. I'll just stick to cook books in English.

NO, I won't buy a cooking book with attractive pictures but not understand the language as if I'm going to buy a cook book I will be looking forward to cook something from that book.

I think i will not buy it.I don't know the language,then how i can use it.If i love it so much,i will make down the name.If one day i can check the language in the dictionary,i will prefer to buy the book for the good recipes.

Unless you had someone or something to translate the recipes for you it would be like trying to build the Golden Gate Bridge without technical support LOL! It's a shame you can't get the same book in English, one thing you could do though if you know the name of the book, try doing a search for it and seeing if there is a book in your language, that can happen, different versions, check Ebay, Amazon for example, worth a try, it's amazing what you can find when you do a search on line! Good luck my friend

For me a book in a language I could not read would defeat the purpose. Ironically enough I have a cookbook published myself of Danish recipes. Now the book is in English, because I don't read or write danish, but my background is Danish, and the recipes are from my family background.

The pictures could make the dish look good. But what use is the book if you cannot decipher the wordings to get the ingredients right? There is one option though. If you really like the dish a lot, there is another alternative. Ask the store owner if there is a print in the language you e interested in. There is another alternative too.... Get the name of the dish. And then go to the internet to search for the recipe. There is a higher chance of you finding the recipe in the language you are comfortable with.

Hello youless. I don't think that I will ever buy a cooking book if I don't understand the language used in the cooking book, however attractive the pictures are. It is not that easy for me to figure out the recipe without my knowing about the language. Enjoy cooking.

Hi youless! haha..I won't buy a cookbook with a language that I don't understand at all. The pictures may look great and sumptuous but I might be stressed out on figuring how in the world could I understand the language. haha.. Take care always..God Bless!

I probably would buy it anyway, because i love cookbooks and have at least 100 of them-all types from all over the U.S. and if i ran across one that looked interesting i would almost certainly buy it, even if i couldn't read a word in it.

why no. i would be wasting my money & time. why did u buy it??

I wont buy it it's a waste of money!! and I cant even use it. so why would I buy it?? before we buy a think we have to think many time if it is really very useful and if it's not a waste of money. because nowadays many is hard to find.
