Books for Cooks

D and I are both avid bibliophiles. The walls of our house are lined with books of all types but I have a special passion for cookbooks. About 90% of my collection is vegetarian ranging from 1902 to the present day. I love searching out old books from the sixties and seventies especially ones from restaurants that were around at the time. It's amazing to see how the cuisne has evolved over the years as we've learned more and more about nutrition.

Jen gets to use my collection as her own personal lending library so I thought she'd like a visual catalogue of what's available. So here goes:




Bottom shelf is my magazine collection. Mainly BBC Vegetarian Good Food, Vegetarian Times, Donna Hay, VegNews, Herbivore and some other random food mags.




Theres a few more small paperbacks hiding in the kitchen and a pile by the side of the bed but that about covers it.
