I LOVE cookbooks and really have a problem getting rid of any of them. I have the complete set of Southern Living annual cookbooks going back to 1979 and use them a lot. I also buy regional cookbooks when we travel, and I simply can't resist church and guild cookbooks. I counted one time and had close to 200 before I managed to donate a few to our church rummage sale! I really enjoy cooking, but don't buy or use a lot of gadgets.
