Guilty pleasure: reading cookbooks! I love collecting, sorting through, and learning from cookbooks. Although the internet is a terrific place to peruse for recipes and ideas, there is something about the old fashioned, hard cover that I can’t get away from. There are so many cookbooks that I love and use, but currently, here are my three favorite:
Simply in Season is a community cookbook about good food: foods that are fresh, nutritious, tasty, and in rhythm with the seasons. Easy to use, uncomplicated, and delicious!

Season and dishes. Ginger Kale and Tofu, hooray! My type of food!
Mother’s Bistro & Bar is a popular restaurant from Portland, Oregon, with a cookbook that is just as pleasing. The menu is filled with comfort food to kill for.
