101 Cookbooks
http://www.101cookbooks.com/
When you own over 100 cookbooks, it is time to stop buying, and start cooking.
This site chronicles a cookbook collection, one recipe at a time. I made
a resolution (although it turns out that I wasn't very good at keeping it).
I would stop buying cookbooks, or at least scale back, and start trying new
recipes. In the process I hoped to learn new techniques, explore unfamiliar
ingredients, discover/keep track of new recipes, document my successes and
failures, and hopefully inspire other cooks to do the same.
The site has evolved a since the early days. Now I choose and write about
the recipes that intersect my life, my travels, and my everyday interests
- often they are from my cookbook collection, sometimes not - they might
come from a friend or family member, or I might write about a recipe I created
myself. The site has expanded to included community features like discussion
forums and the occasional guest contributer. 101 Cookbooks has been featured
in numerous newspaper articles and is a winner of numerous awards including
the 2005 people's choice Webby Award for best personal web site. --Heidi
