Do people still use physical, paper copy cook books?

[Bri C]

Most often, I'm either using a family recipe scribbled on a piece of paper or a recipe I found on the internet. I'm 21, and I've bought my fair share of cookbooks in 'my time', but I rarely like the majority of the recipes in a book, and it's so much easier to find exactly what I'm looking for online.

I do like reading a certain set of magazines my mother got when I was younger. I don't quite the remember the name, but they are thin, uniform, and they always tested a million variations on recipes before putting on in the magazine. Huh. I might resubscribe to that for a while to challenge myself to broaden my cooking horizons again.

I have a few cookbooks left, mostly handed down from family members..and usually they have some of those key favorite recipes for special occasions or that we make on a regular basis. I won't typically head to the bookstore for cookbooks though, I prefer to spend my book budget on novels plus there are so many easy recipes to find on the internet.

Not widely. It's easy to just Google a free recipe nowadays. What would really be the point of buying a cookbook?

[Honest-reviewer]

I guess! But I always prefer YouTube for new recipes
It easier to see and follow..

I love using cookbooks ! I have a bookshelf full Of cookbooks, from small serving recipes to commercial and large group recipes, Old pioneer recipes and classic recipes. Keeps cooking exciting And meals unique!

I recently read My Kitchen Year, by Ruth Reichl, and really enjoyed cooking with several of her recipes. It's not really a cook book, but you can't help but be hungry, and in the mood for really respecting food, after reading any of her books.

Yes, I use paper copy cookbooks. I love the feel of the book and looking through its pages for the perfect recipe. This is useful when I am trying out different cuisines and need some context for how a meal is made authentically.

i normally use videos but also use some cook books as they may have more inmformation and it COULD give you some history behind the dish

I have a bunch of recipe books but rarely use them. If there is a recipe I use a lot, I will usually write it on a recipe card so I do not have to flip through the book. I find most of my recipes online.

I really don't think anyone still uses them actually. I think probably old recipes or recipes that have been kept for generations are still kept in books.

[CottonFioc]

I just bought a cookbook on Amazon, so yeah, there are still people who use them

[marksm121]

Still, I am using physical paper more

[DominikaS]
