And I will also print recipies I find online to try, and add them to my collection. My "working cookbook collection" is two (Spice & Spirit, and the Better Homes & Gardens one from circa 1996) - PLUS the pile of recipies I have accumulated from non-cookbook sources. The paper pile could do with some trimming, as many of the recipies are rarely if ever used, but others are regulars on our dinner table. I guess I missed this the first time around.

Okay, a couple of cookbooks may be gathering dust, but the notebook of collected recipes plus 3-4 actual cookbooks are kept in a very accessible space in my kitchen and consulted often. I also have a collection of recipes in my pda, but if I find something online, I print it out to work from, and if we like it enough to do it again, it goes in the notebook.
