Over the years I’ve accumulated an extensive collection of cookbooks - perhaps something that seems a bit odd in the age of online recipes but I do genuinely think there’s an experience to a good cookbook that can’t be replicated by BBC Good Food, the Waitrose website or AllRecipes. Beyond the physical experience of a good cookbook I do find there’s just a level of quality in recipes that can be found in these books that you don’t tend to get online - with a few honourable exceptions.
