I no longer see any need for a recipe book.

If I am interested in cooking something I’ve never made before, my first instinct is to hit up foodtv.com and search for ‘ Alton Brown’; if that fails, I go on to Google. I’ve never failed to find a multitude of recipes for whatever I’d like to cook in this manner, and most of the recipes also have user generated comments attached to them with ideas on how to make it better.

I haven’t touched the recipe books on my shelf in a couple years.. might be time to put them on eBay before other people stop seeing the value in them!

If you still find them valuable, please tell me why — I’d love to have a good reason to keep ‘em around!
