Are you sure you have enough books?
xxx
January 14, 2008 at 11:02 am
Is that possible? LOL I’ve not finished the list yet either
February 6, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Your cookbook shelf looks very similar to mine!!!
February 7, 2008 at 3:33 pm
Lurvly collection George. Considering the amount of cookbooks we both have, you only have a few the same as me…I’ll have to list all mine (maybe when I’ve got a spare week LOL). xx
March 22, 2008 at 9:26 am
Not only do I love your choice of books; but I like the way you’ve allocated them to their own library page. I think I might do something similar on my blogs, thank you so much for a lovely site and some great ideas.
June 7, 2008 at 9:03 pm
Any you can pick out as absolute favourites? I know it’s difficult but it would be nice to know the ones you turn to most! By the way I have quite a few in common with you but I am surprised to see you don’t have any of Delia’s, or did I miss them?
June 7, 2008 at 9:18 pm
Oh that’s a hard question Jeannette
I really love all my Nigella ones and the Jana Gur book; but my favourites change from week to week really, it just depends on my mood.
As for the Delia books, I don’t have any, I really dislike her style. Please don’t shout at me.
June 8, 2008 at 10:11 am
I didn’t think you’d be able to pick out a favourite! But, tut, tut, not liking Delia!! I must admit I have all her books, and I prefer her style to Nigella’s , although I have a few af hers also. I think Delia is more perhaps for family cooking, I learnt the basics form her books and programmes, my mother was not a great cook by any means. I always think I have enough books though until I see the next one, bread baking is what I’m into at the moment!
June 26, 2008 at 9:37 pm
Hi George
I`m a new fan of Rachel Allens. I notice you have Rachel`s Baking Secrets. I hadn`t realised it had been issued. Where did you buy it from?
June 27, 2008 at 9:40 am
Hi Karen
I haven’t got Rachel’s new book yet, it’s just on pre-order. In an attempt to be organised I added it here as soon as I ordered.
July 18, 2008 at 8:35 am
Like shoes you can never have enough cookbooks! I thought I was bad and I have 40, though I’ve collected them all in the past year so if I keep going at the rate I am I’ll need a storage unit in no time!
I too have Rachel’s Baking Secrets on pre-order along with the new Tana Ramsay and Martha Stewart books, I did have Nigella on pre-order too but Amazon have removed it from the site
Unsuprisingly there will be a new series to go with Rachel’s new book so I’m eagerly awaiting that.
Also awaiting the arrival of two new books, Bill’s Food and Every Day so I can’t wait for those. Bill’s books make me drool…..
July 18, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Hayley, the two books of Bill’s you mention are great, I’m sure you’ll enjoy!
As for the book list it isn’t fully up to date yet, one day it will be
July 23, 2008 at 6:13 pm
wow what a selection! i was pleased to see a few which also grace my shelves – Ballymaloe ones in particular as that is a place I intend to attend (!) in a few years.
Whilst I am here i would like to say how i have recently discovered your blog and find it a great inspirational blog – so inspirational I am going to take the jump and set up my own blog soon.
Thanks for all the great food!

This is my first time visiting culinarytravelsofakitchengoddess.wordpress.com and i must say i like it a lot.
Your message was an educationa read.
I will surely come back here more often!

September 17, 2008 at 9:19 am
Lucy & Hooka nice to see you here. Hope you enjoy it and return again soon
November 20, 2008 at 5:00 pm
I would love to come by and spend hours browsing through your cook book collection! My collection has been accumulating (breeding?) for over 30 years now. It’s amazing that we only have 8 books in common. I detect a strong regional difference in our collections. Living all my life in the greater San Francisco area has strongly influenced my cook book selections.
November 20, 2008 at 5:35 pm
Hi Michelle, nice to see you here. It’s strange how we build up different book collections isn’t it, I don’t consciously think geographically when I buy them though but I’m sure it has some impact.
September 14, 2009 at 9:18 am
WOW – what a stunning collection of cook books!! My own modest collection is growing slowly
September 30, 2009 at 11:38 am
Hi Helen, thank you! I just can’t stop myself adding to the collection
September 30, 2009 at 11:00 am
Wow, what a book list! Is it up to date yet?? Do you still buy new ones as soon as they come out? I have many the same as you, but there are plenty on here that I would love! Your blog is amazing and truly inspirational.
September 30, 2009 at 11:37 am
Thank you so much for your very complimentary comment, you’ve put a very big smile on my face
I’m so pleased to hear you like my blog!!
I’ve just bought a couple of new books that I need to pop on the list but other than that I think it’s up to date (although I keep thinking it is and finding another book lurking LOL).
I do buy some books as soon as they come out, Amazon recommendations and belonging to a food forum with many other cookery book ‘addicts’ are dangerous things
October 6, 2009 at 1:40 am
Greetings from northwest Canada
Lord in heaven, you have more cook books than I do! I have cook book shelves in four places in our home. That doesn’t count the rotating stack on the dining table. How I find time to work I will never know.
I am a slave to Nigel Slater’s writing & to Nigella’s Feast & Christmas books and I would happily sell my grand kids for a meeting with Madhur Jaffrey. I also adore Deborah Madison (I don’t think you have any of her), Jacques Pepin & of course Julia.
What a wonderful blog you have.
October 6, 2009 at 1:49 am
Janne thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and to leave me a comment.
I’m forever adding to my collection and now have two bookshelves in the kitchen and two freestanding units in my bedroom, but there’s always a stack on the kitchen table and on my bedside table to sort too.
I’ve never heard of Deborah Madison or Jacques Pepin so I’ll look them up. I’d love a Julia book but have yet to get one.
