borrowing cookbooks from the library

cookbooks are amazing and inspirational ways to refresh your weekly menus, but they’re also generally quite expensive! i love remembering that your local library has all the cook books you could want (and if they don’t you can ask them to buy it). i have a folder in my phone of photos i’ve taken from cookbooks with recipes, but it’s also a delight to cook straight from the book. this is also a low stakes way to know if you vibe with the recipes - sometimes you have high hopes then the recipes aren’t quite what you hoped. photo is the book that’s waiting for me to pick up today :)
