Listography - Top 5 Cookbooks

After taking part in Kate Takes 5 Listography the other week for the first time (it was the mug extravaganza, I couldn't resist...) I have again been lured in by this weeks topic of Top 5 Cookbooks. I mean, a cookbook queen like me, how could I resist?! The challenge really was to limit my choices to only five books, something I knew I'd find hard for two reasons. The first being that my collection of cookbook now numbers around 270 (that looks so bad written down) and secondly I find it hard to stick to the rules, as my mug post shows.

Anyhow, I've had a think and this is what I have come up as my Top 5 Cookbooks. I've based it on the books I use the most. One of them is a Christmas one but I love it, so it makes the cut.






Ha! In your face. I stuck at FIVE.

Right now I'm off to check out the rest of the entries and hope that reading people's blog posts do not make me want to start shopping on Amazon. If they do, I shall hold Kate responsible.

Do join in if you love cookbooks as much as me, and if you've got any of the ones I've mentioned above, let me know what you think of them!

    Completely agree with the Good Housekeeping book. It is my bible.

    270 - that is RIDICULOUS. However you are clearly an expert so most of these are on my 'to buy' list. Glad you joined in!

    Ooh, I don't have 4 of these - I also adore Nigella's Express (I think this is the one that has the lemon risotto that nearly killed us with richness and creaminess...)!

    Well done for sticking at 5 given the quantity. I'm a bit scared to count ours actually - spread across 2 continents...Lovely blog, great to find you!

    Oh Gino! I love him but have never thought to look for a cook book. A great range and well done for stopping at five!

    I reckon Kate has single handedly upped Amazon's share price this week ;) Adding these to my wishlist.
