Be still my cookbook loving heart! Ugh why do I love cookbooks so much?? Something about reading them and getting lost in the recipes (and especially in the stories that lead up to the recipes) gets me every time. As Lucinda Scala Quinn said on her instagram, “For as long as I remember I’ve taken a few hours each week to read from my cookbook library—both new ones and old favorites. Scanning the digital food universe is good too. But Nothing quite compares to the deep, thorough, collective braintrust a good cookbook can impart.”
