"Buying cookbooks is a great way to support your favorite chef or local bookstore, but they aren't cheap and can quickly become an expensive habit if you're keen on collecting all of the newest cookbooks. Along with the monetary expenses, cookbooks are usually larger than traditional books and can take up a lot of valuable shelf real estate in your home, especially if you don't reach for and use them often."
"Borrowing physical cookbooks or digital copies from your local library is a great way to take the latest cookbooks for a test drive, so to speak, to see if you actually enjoy the recipes within the book or if the recipes do indeed yield good results in your kitchen. The Libby app allows users to download cookbooks instantly, if available, or put new or popular cookbooks on hold to be downloaded when they're back in stock."
Buying cookbooks can be expensive and take up significant shelf space, especially if many are seldom used. Borrowing cookbooks from public libraries offers a free, low-risk way to try new recipes, cuisines, and culinary techniques without commitment. Library digital platforms such as the Libby app enable instant downloads or holds for popular titles, while OverDrive provides cookbooks and free current and past food magazine editions. Many library websites feature “Coming Soon” lists organized by category to preview forthcoming additions. Local librarians can provide availability details and assistance. Public libraries also carry niche or regionally focused recipe collections valuable to cooks.
