despite being a person who loves food and recipes, I hardly ever buy cookbooks for the actual recipes. i love being inspired through the pictures and the writing and the blood, sweat and tears that went into the e book. I can also make a recipe or , but even supposing I do, I nearly constantly make enough modifications that the unique recipe is barely even there.
