It is no secret that I love books, all sorts of books but my cookery books have to be in hard copy rather than electronic form. I don’t have time, patience or the need to wrestle with a device to cook a recipe. And, yes, I do have a few cookery books in electronic form but, truth be told, I don’t plan on doing much cooking from them. And, yes, I get the irony, too. <shrug>

Recently Anna from Cooking The Books made an excellent point about depending upon online recipes as she showed her home made pickles. Click HERE to check it out.

While there is an advantage to being able to search for a recipe online, the reality is that nothing online is permanent. And we all know that the power never goes out and WiFi never stops. /s

A paper copy gives you the advantage of having what you need, what you use, when you need it to use it. And there are options for how you use that paper copy.

Also, cooking from scratch enables us to be able to create the most amazing things without depending upon someone else to deliver, set up, etc.

Food for thought…
