View Poll Results: Do you use your computer as your No. 1 cookbook?
Thanks for answering my poll!
No, I am not the same guy which you saw asking about a paying for receipts by credit card.
The poll i sent is because i have an idea that will change the need of using books and wanted to see, before i start working on it, if people are into it.
Infact i built a survey which is more focused on the answers i am looking for.
For me, it's a mix of both. My husband made something for me in Super Card to store my recipes in so I've been gradually entering the ones that are cutout from magazines etc, but I do have a big cookbook collection too that I will use on a regular basis.
I'm about 99-1, with 99 of my recipes from the Internet (include suggestions from the very helpful members of cheftalk) and 1% of recipes from cookbooks.
I use cookbooks there is something about having a well worn book. I would suspect if in the future there are more practical (color) readers that adapt well to a kitchen environment I would use those (I am thinking of something like a kindle idea but expanded).

Just counted my recipe books. 126. I can find most things there i need. And just as important, I enjoy them very much.
I do use the internet too, but mostly cos i'm just interested in the food of other countries and dont have enough info in my books
For example. I have 2 Lebanese books but cant find a Kubze flat bread recipe One actually says we dont include this recipe as its so easy to buy it This would be when i go online

It really depends on what I am going to cook. If its cajun, I have the Prudhomme's L.K. book or if bread the B.B.A. Or if its something from home I have the J.L.M. Memphis cookbook.
I don't own any Indian, Asian, Jamaican, or Mexican cookbooks. I love the food, so when I have the taste for it the internet is the way to go for me.
Searching for recipes on the internet is much more convenient and at the same time practical than buying a recipe book at the store. It's much more faster. Just type the kind of meal you want and *snap* you have a list of recipes!
