Yeay! Now I can recapture some counter space for more gadgets! Thanks!
Eat Your Books
I wrote a piece for the daily food email newsletter Tasting Table about Eat Your Books, an interesting new website that can help you turn your cookbook collection into an online recipe database.
Huh? Online search for print? Read more about how it works.

Hmmm-
While this sounds good on the surface and I do find myself checking the web more and more for recipes, there is something about referring to books that is a meaningful part of the recipe process for me. Many of the books I look to for recipes are out of print.
How did the author relate recipes before the advent of the keyword search? A book can tell you that, a database cant. I guess its a generational thing.
Sounds interesting. Can I get more recipes?
This site is great. It functions very well, and I find that it suggests recipes in places I would not normally think to look, hence I have made several great things from my very large library that I may never have found. Besides, once you have the book off the shelf, you can't help but continue to browse through and reacquaint yourself with one of your treasures! Cudos to the founders, its an idea that has been a long time coming!
I am now encoding the recipe cutouts and magazines that I have so that I can have my own database of it. I am tired of searching them all over again.
