Senior Cook
There is just way to many recipes/information on the internet these days for someone to have to go to mags for their recipes. Heck i have so many recipe sites bookmarked and don't ever get a chance to make most of the recipes because with my mags,books, & internet i have recipe overload . I still will buy books though. Books are a lot of times just not about recipes. If the author of the cookbook is a good writer then they emerse you in the food and the culture surounding it. They are good reads even if you never make one single recipe from the book. (rick bayless is always my prime example). If i need equipment reviews i can just come here instead of cooks illustrated . If a lot of you are like me you have so many magazines that you tell yourself that your going to fix recipes out of and they end up making a mess of the house because you have so many.
