I’m not sure exactly how often I use a cookbook, but I’d say several times a week. I use them especially if I need to be precise with a recipe, like with baking.
I cook from a book at least 3 times per week because I love incorporating new meals into my regular rotation.
I use a cookbook once or twice a week, I also use recipes from blogs. I’d love to have this book for my cousin who needs easy vegan meals!
almost never
I probably cook from a book once or twice a week. I don’t have any of Laura’s books but I enjoy her public television show. Thanks for the chance to win a copy!
I look up recipes online more often these days than reaching for a cookbook, but there are a few cookbooks that are like old friends, like my mom’s beat-up, food-crusted copy of The Vegetarian Epicure from the 70’s.
Laura’s recipes are always delicious and the prep is easy. I have all her previous cookbooks. I can’t wait to try these cookies.
I look at my cookbooks at least five times a week.
I also look on-line for ideas.
I cook from a cookbook about 50% of the time and the other 50% I use recipes I find online, I like that you can read other peoples reviews.
I almost always cook from a recipe because I want what I’m taking my time to make…to turn out great! Not having time to experiment on my own, I always turn to an ever increasing assortment of great cook’s books to guarantee my success. I just need more time and more bookshelves…love my cookbooks!
I cook from a cookbook a few times a week. I love cookbooks and devour them like a great novel!
I use a cookbook at least once a week.
I am a cookbook junkie. I love to buy them and read them like they are novels. I probably don’t use them as much as I should. I tend to go to the internet first when I need a recipe real quick. So I’d say I use them about 30% of the time.
I always use a cookbook, even to double check recipes I make often. So I use a cookbook about 3-4 times a week.
The cookies don’t excite me much, but the other recipes do.
I try to cook from a cookbook at least 1-2 times per week.
I would say, several times a week, because I love trying new recipes.
