I’ve collected cookbooks, for years. If I had my way (and a larger house) I’d own more of them. Every time I purchase a new one, my husband rolls his eyes and asks me where I’m going to put it.

Even though I have access to millions of recipes, on the Internet, they will never replace my love for the traditional cookbook. There is just something about them that makes me feel like Betty Crocker.

Over the years, I have learned to really research a cookbook before adding it to my collection. That way, there is a less likely chance that it will need to be returned. (I don’t have enough space to keep a cookbook I probably won’t use.)

That being said, I recently subscribed to Cookbook Digest and am eagerly awaiting the delivery of my first issue. Each month I will be made privy to recipes and reviews from twenty popular cookbooks.

The magazine also includes a great many colorful photos and informative articles, covering topics such as entertaining, seasonal foods, product and equipment recommendations and much more.

I opted for the 6-month subscription. There is a 12-month subscription available as well. This allows you to choose the one that more easily fits into your budget.
