Hi, I'm Ros and I'm a complete newbie. I've just signed up and am finding my way around. I don't have many cookbooks (compared to most people here) but my collection has been growing exponentially in the last year. I blog at http://themorethanoccasionalbaker.blogspot.com/ and am now on twitter @bakingaddict. Hope to get to know some of you and your cookbooks! 

Whats your 10 favourite cookbooks in your collection? 

Hi:

I live in Rochester, NY and like trying new recipes.  I'm currently trying different yeast doughs and am somewhat pleased with the results.  I like making breads and also dinner rolls of any variety. 

I also enjoy trying different and new recipes.

Hope to get to the point where I have all of my recipes in one place and this just might be that place.

Welcome, I'm new too.  I have a few cookbooks but not a lot and I'm interested in seeing how this works.

Please don't give my husband any suggestions.  I go to library sales and always come home with more books than I should.  Lucky for me, my husband never says anything about it.

If you Index Request your unindexed books that adds another point to its score on our indexing chart.  You can filter your Unindexed books by clicking Unindexed books under Filter by... at top right.  If you sort them by Popularity (the sort box is in the green bar where the search word box is) you can assume that any of your books on more than 40 Bookshelves will be indexed in the next couple of months or so.

Hi, I am The Notorious K.A.E. (a joke, of course)  Kae is my middle name, and I'm on lots of food boards with different names.  I live in UpState New York, and love to cook.  I have a pathetic nmber of c/b's compared to some of you, but i weed out and donate, so I'm buying more! 

Before this site, the original plan was to scan the recipes I wanted and then sell it when I was done.  That's not going to happen.  Now I can use all of my books.  Love the ability to use Australian c/b's. My mum-in-law sent me recipes and a now favorite c/b.

You know what Doris Day used to sing:  What will be, will be.

Hi - Just wanted to stop by here and say hello to everyone.  I am really enjoying learning how to use this site.  I've found so many recipes in my stash that I've been meaning to make.  My husband is especially liking some of the cakes and desserts that I've been trying lately.  Hope everyone is having as much fun as I am here.  Mary

Hi Everyone

I live in Australia and am retired and 75 years young.

Being retired I have all the time in the world to cook and read my some 150 cookbooks.

Hi,

I'm Laura in southern California. I've always been a cook, but in recent years I've become allergic to so many foods that I have no choice but to make everything from scratch, all the time. No cheating with bouillion cubes or storebought pesto and no restaurants, ever.

SO, I'm doing a lot of reworking old recipes and searching for new ones. This site is such a great idea! I have many cookbooks that I love and used to cook out of a lot, but in recent years I've found myself just googling up something new rather than taking a book down off the shelf. But now I have twenty-some thousand recipes (from my favorite writers) at my fingertips! 

Last night I found a recipe that I had made once years ago, loved, and promptly lost. Worth the price of admission right there.

Hi I'm Lisa, I'm from Queensland Australia. I thought i was a cookbook addict until I saw how many cookbooks other members have. I don't have many at all in comparison. I must mingle with the wrong people who only have a couple of books on their shelves.

I like to cook a variety of food, if it has garlic even better. My favourite cookbook at the moment is 'Around my french table' by Dorie Greenspan'. In fact just made one of her quiches from it..I'm resisting the urge to go back for thirds.
