Wouldn't dream of it. Love my old beat up edition. Whole sections have come loose from the binding. But I just keep stuffing it back between the covers.
Sounds just like mine.

I agree, S&P. I rarely follow a cookbook, but love to read them for suggestions. I am a miserable baker, just hate having to measure so precisely, and much prefer to cook by taste.
I write down my tweaks and make sure my recipes are repeatable. I read for the ideas of flavor combinations, essentially creating my own recipe out of the many I may read. When I decide what I am going to cook, I reference my cookbooks and what I can find online and create my own recipe.
Yes. I seem to have a similar affliction.
I take 5 to the Oxfam shop and come away with another five. That's not how it's supposed to work.
I'm in the "use recipes for inspiration" group. I cook using what is on hand, rarely shop for a specific recipe. I read my cookbooks. When I first started cooking, I followed recipes. Now I cook like chef Micheal Smith.I write down my tweaks and make sure my recipes are repeatable.
