Love this video! I have waaay too many cookbooks but I love it when I get to see other people’s cookbook libraries!

Ottoleghi Plenty is one of my favorite cookbooks. I’m not vegetarian, but I don’t miss the meat when I make the recipes. I’ve probably used that cookbook more than any others, despite the lengthy recipes.

A suggestion since you like to use the recipe just as a guide is Alice Waters The Art of Simple Food. It starts the chapter on cooking techniques, then has some recipes that demonstrate the techniques, followed by suggestions on changing it up.

I love well illustrated cookbooks. I can highly recommend the books written by Yvette van Boven. Just looking at the pages turns up a healthy appetite. Also like Donna Hay and Nigella Lawson a lot. But I agree with you never to fully follow a recipe, always tweaking especially with spices.

I have seen her cooking show once and it didn't appeal to me much. I would love to try more by Nigella Lawson. Her food always makes my mouth water.

I love collecting cookbooks as well and using them. I have a lot of French, British and Canadian cookbooks. I love your collection. I had to downsize mine as I am leaving for Europe as soon as the global situation is better, but if you want some Canadian cookbook recommendations, I can send you a list. A lot of our food is meant to be hearty... So, it might not be what you are looking for but I can send you a list of those cookbooks anyway if you are interested.

Thanks for the suggestion, but I just got myself Ottolenghi's new Flavour cookbook so I am good for a little while ;-)

I love this! I have quite the assortment of cookbooks too. I was just going through some of mine the other day, and I was cracking up because some of the ones that were my grandmas have some very interesting recipes

Oh I know! I no longer have them (my mom wanted them back) but I used to have her old school cookbook and my grandma's as well. Hilarious and very flavourless.
