There's just one...teeny...tiny...small...problem....I NEVER USE THEM!
In fact I cant recall, making one meal out of my many cookbooks. But they do look so pretty on the kitchen shelf...and I do love them.
Which brings to me Saturday. I was flipping through the channels, and came across one of my all time favourite movies, Julie & Julia. How perfect is that movie...its has...food, blogging, New York, cookbooks, America, France all rolled into one movie...all of my favourite things.
And it got me thinking...as well as a little nagging from the husband...who cannot for the life of him understand how come I have never used a single recipe...men!...that maybe I should create a little challenge for myself.
So this is it. I don't have a deadline...my only rule is that I have to make at least one new recipe from any of my cookbooks, a week. It can be a main meal, or just a side dish...whatever...as long as I use my cookbooks, or one of my hundred Food & Home magazines, at least once a week. And then I am going to blog about it.
What do you think....I think that's do-able hey?
So my own cookbook challenge starts next week...wish me and my ever-increasing waist line luck!

That is totally do-able! You might even be bitten by the bug;-D I love my Ina Paarman recipe books...so simple and easy and tasty.
good luck with the challenge, sounds like fun!
Oh yeah, that is going to be wonderful! I did a new recipe per week a couple of years ago (before blog life) and it was such fun.
Looking forward to your challenge - and I do love that movie.
oh that is such a cool challenge :)
and I totally love Julie and Julia :) it is a rocking movie!
I look forward to reading and seeing your recipe posts :) yay!

What an awesome idea! I would love more cookbooks :)
You are going to have to share with us!
Great idea!
Fabulous idea!
I too, have a million cookbooks, but i have used some of them!
Have you seen that Nigella has a new one out? Nigella's Kitchen? Dead keen to add that to my Christmas Wish List.
I got Rachels Food last Christmas, and haven't used it yet (so you're not the only one!)
A very good idea - I am exactly the same. I have had a subscription for Food and Home for so many years and never cook from the recipes or from one of my MANY cook books. I think I should also set this challenge.
I watch Julie and Julia this weekend. Wow, I dont' think I could go to such extremes though.
