My Favorite Cookbooks 

I love READING cookbooks more than I cook from them so I always try to seek those kind. I find it so relaxing! One of my favorite cookbooks is based on Jan Karon’s books based in her Mitford series called- Mitford Cookbook and Kitchen Reader. It reminds me of a small town community and the foods one prepares for welcoming someone, church socials or just having a good meal with friends and family. Thanks for sharing a bit of your collection!

Loved this ..thanks for sharing this ....I love cookbooks for different reasons too ...my Good Housekeeping cookbook from 1976 is pure basic recipes , spine falling off ...for British cooking history it's Readers Digest cookbook which lasted longer than the marriage it was a wedding present for .... .for comfort and stories it's Midnight Chicken/ Ellen Rosenberg which tells how cooking healed her but it's not at all twee ....for stories and exploring it's The Jewish Cookbook by Claudia Roden ...all must have solid recipes as a given of course ...

Hi Gina! I was directed over to your channel by Olive! Loved this video! I did "favorite" The Forest Feast - Love what you showed us, Gorgeous! Looking forward to catching up on your previous videos - Nice to connect! Happy 2022~!

Food and books are a perfect combination! This video just makes me hungry though and I just ate, lol.

Olive sent me over! Yum, those books look amazing! Thanks for sharing them. :)

Gina the side-by-side editing here is fab!!! Way to go!!

Forest Feast is on my wishlist, I saw it in your thumbnail, and then saw it AGAIN in a tenant's apartment...something wants me to read it!! 💖

I definitely need to try some of these 😊

I got so excited when I saw Cook, Eat, Repeat! Nigella's books are such a joy. 💕🥰 Cookbooks are just the best!

Miss Read's cookbook a fave of mine

Love your channel. I have only one cookbook. It is an Alan Jackson (country singer) bbq book. I’ve never cooked anything from it but can’t bear to part with it. I finally unhauled my other cookbook to my grandson in-law who loves to cook. It’s called Gourmet on the Go. Out of print. I have friends who adore cookbooks.

Very cool! I don’t have nearly as many cookbooks! My favorite cookbook is called New Food of Life by Najmieh Batmanglij. It is Persian food but it has amazing pictures and stories 😍

Veganomicon, looks interesting in the eighties I used the Vegan Cookbook by Leah Lehmann a lot, my first wife was a vegan. The pictures in the Forest Feast look gorgeous.

We must be soul mates because cookbooks are always on my radar. Hi, I'm a new Booktuber and I just found your channel. I love reading nonfiction also. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos.

Love these! I get my recipes from Pinterest, but I do love to look at cookbooks. I need to get my hands on the Veganomicon.

I love that you have favorite cookbooks. Sadly, I am a terrible cook. We do have some cookbooks - vegetarian and vegan mainly. I will have to check out Veganomicon.

Absolutely agree re Nigella, but have you read any of Nigel Slater’s books? He’s an incredible writer, such a comfort read

Hi, just subscribed, Olive sent me. Enjoying the variety. Thanks.

Oh no....😁 somebody's had a side by side shot going on. See you've already passed me up on technological progress by way far. Which recipe book have you used the most??? Is that your cat?? Never mind .😁 Looks like you figured it out. Nice Video 👍😁👍

I’m always on the lookout for good slow cooker recipe books (mostly because I’m lazy).

ive started collecting cook books for my husband. he is the cook!

Your cookbooks totally inspired me! I don't own Veganomicon, but I should get it! It sounds perfect for me. lol. I love cookbooks that are mostly writing about food with beautiful pictures, even if they're not foods that I eat. I'm reading The Christmas Chronicles by Nigel Slater and it's soo perfect. If you haven't read this cookbook, you must try it. Do you have any other 'writing about food' cookbooks? (A favorite of mine is Home Cooking by Laurie Colwin and I just found out that there's another one, so I'll have to get that one, too.) :D

Don’t know if you’ve ever read Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel-it’s a Mexican novel of magical realism infused into cooking and recipes. It was one of my mom’s favorite books and I grew to love it as well, even if it’s pretty far from what I usually read.

Hi Gina! I am visiting from channel abookolive. Olive recommended you. I do enjoy cookbooks. All of these are new to me. So will be checking them out.

Gina! How did you do that split screen? That was great! Very impressive for your first foray into editing. Snobby Joe’s sound good.

Veganomicon is such a classic. It’s survived many a move with me. My other favorite vegan cookbook is “Vegan Brunch”, also by Isa Chandra Moskowitz

I used to have several hundred cookbooks. I had to part with them. Sometimes I missed them. Nowadays I don’t cook much because I can hardly eat anything. My diet is very simple and limited.

Much Depends on Dinner is also a food history book written by Margaret Visser...did she reference that one?

Found you thanks to abookolive and instantly subscribed!! :)

Thank you, Gina, for making me hungry LOL! My sister is a vegan. Are you on Instagram or Pinterest? I would be interested in following you.
