COOKBOOKS AS FAR AS THE EYE CAN SEE.... COOKBOOK ORGANIZATION

 

I am doing a horrible, hard, life affirming thing!  I have decided (trumpet sounds here) to GET RID OF AT LEAST 1/2 OF MY COOKBOOK COLLECTION!  I have literally googled and studied this for days (yes I know I have either A. no life or B. a very obsessive personality or C. All of the above) but it's time to not move all that heavy paper!  I have finally talked myself down from the ledge and decided to get a move on with this project. Because to be honest - how many cookbooks do I really need or use? 

Soooo - I am going through 3 books a day, scanning the recipes I want out of them for reference, and at the same time I am making a book of  recipes I actually use and refer to frequently for easy reference.  I hope to one day get down to the three books plus a notebook that most of these blogger organizers boast of , but I honestly think in my heart of hearts that day will never come.  So I have resigned myself to get rid of 1/2 the book collection - enough to feel the twinge but not enough to mourn the loss.

I plan to organize my favorite books in a cute wire basket like they did on the blog A Bowl Full Of Lemons.  Too cute!

Okay I will list daily what my books and impressions of the books are, here are the first three for the chopping block -
