I love cookbooks too. All kinds and varieties. I love vintage and regional spiral bound as well as professional and niche. You never know where you will get a good recipe or idea from. I'm always having to cull mine out. Mostly I'm fantasy cooking though

I hear you on the fantasy cooking! I think books in general are wonderful for escapism, and imagined cooking escapism is just a special sort of awesome. I'm never going to make that leftover Thanksgiving turkey pie with stuffing crust, but the idea of it is fun.

And, yes, vintage and regional are so much fun. We bought a little spiral-bound cookbook at a craft fair a few years ago and it had something like 22 different recipes for nutroll. It feels like a historic artifact. 😄
