Cookbook Recommendations?

[furzzy]

I have only purchased a single cookbook in e-format. I like to annotate my cookbooks, and if there is an easy way to mark up/make notes in e-books, I haven't found it. So I'm still buying physical cookbooks.

It's very simple to make my notes on my iPad Kindle app. What are you using?

The best cook books are:

A History of Food in 100 Recipes

Root to Stalk Cooking: The Art of Using the Whole Vegetable

Sodium Girl's Limitless Low-Sodium Cookbook

[Syzygies]

Try to slip a sheet between INTO an iPad!

Living two places has forced me to scan any recipe I cook from. I tape the printout to the cabinet door over the butcher block food prep counter, and I mark it up very liberally as I cook. After doing this for years, a cookbook holder feels like a horribly clumsy space hog. And I don't want to see again most of the markup during a cook; I'd never mark the actual book that way.

When the printout comes down, I condense notes into a text file, stored next to the scan in a folder that names the recipe.

With eBooks, one has the book everywhere, and a screen grab is quicker than scanning a physical book. Better, the Kindle format can be cracked. I consider this fair use, for my own use only, and it's the only reason Amazon is getting my money for eBooks. "Format conversion" has always been the legitimate fair use reason to crack encryption schemes.
