I'd guess that cookbooks can be good for introducing you to a cuisine or specific type of food (like macarons) while the scattered information on the net. Also like anything else, yes, it's more effective for them to sell a lifestyle and feeling and not just a bunch of recipes. I think many people like the feel of a solid book instead of flimsy print-outs. I love my cookbooks but I must say I rely mostly on the internet these days because I like the reviews. Has definitely reduced the amount of "dud" recipes I've made now that I make sure to read reviews or get the recipes from blogs I trust.Xiaolu @ 6 Bittersweetshttp://www.6bittersweets.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286362003366840691.post-24132431297478044662011-06-23T13:09:05.171+02:002011-06-23T13:09:05.171+02:00Everyone: I think the BBC article (and myself) did...Everyone: I think the BBC article (and myself) did not mention that cook books give inspiration, it seems to be an important aspect.<br /><br />Ping: I don't think Thai's have char siew - I made the name up.

Let's start...Such an interesting post today!!! <br />Let's start with your pork dish, which looks absolutely irresistible. As well the traditional version as the Thaï one. I haven't heard about char siew, but I must make it. I love pork. <br />As for the cookbooks, even thought I spend lots of time browsing through google and blogs, searching for recipes and reading about food, I simply couldn't live without cookbooks. For me this is not only the difference in paper. It is different. A good cookbook is like a separate world, it has a different atmosphere, most of all old cookery books (and by old I mean even those from the 80s). Also, at least in France, there are famous chefs who publish books with their excellent recipes and these never appear on internet. Unless a blogger uses them, but it's not the same. I don't know how to explain it, but I own really lots of cookbooks and have never thought internet might substitute them. I like reading cookbooks before I go to sleep if I'm too tired to read fiction :-) <br />I desperately need both internet and books to cook and to read about food.Sissihttp://www.withaglass.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4286362003366840691.post-12311562845667839182011-06-23T09:30:04.674+02:002011-06-23T09:30:04.674+02:00Interesting discussion about cookbooks.
