COOKBOOK LOVE: Cooks and Books Through Time.

Barbara is a self-confessed cookbook tragic.  She collects them, treasures them and thinks nothing of the hours she spends in bookshops, trawling the cooking section shelves.  She buys cookbooks like others buy shoes, a tantalising purchase quaranteed to provide years of reading and cooking pleasure and joy.   Her love of cookbooks is both personal and professional, she buys books for her own collection and also seeks and sells vintage and out-of print cookbooks that are too important to end up in landfill.

In this presentation Barbara talks about the highs and lows of collecting cookbooks and in the process answers the insistent question of 'How many cookbooks are too many?'

Presentation includes:

Morning Tea

Lucky Dip Cookbook (to add to your collection)
