recipe much?

Having all these advanced media and the Internet, people are able to access to any sorts of information they are looking for. Sites like Google and Wikipedia gives people all they answers to every question they have. And having said that, there isn’t really a need for a proper cookbook anymore. Would you rather spend twenty to thirty bucks on a cookbook that will be left sitting there all dusty that you’ll only take a look at once in a while or just look up the Internet for free recipes anytime you feel like baking/cooking? I think the second choice sounds a little more reasonable. Also, when you use a cookbook while trying out a recipe, it tends to get all messy and dirty and you wouldn't want that.

On the Internet, you could also come across many “food bloggers”. These people blog/write about food for a living. On their site, they would post up a recipe for a dish they made and also the whole process of doing it. Most of these bloggers have really good food photography skills and as long as the picture looks good, it will definitely get people’s attention.

Other than the Internet, there are also food channels on television that have programs that teaches you step by step on how to cook a certain dish. And if you were to miss one the shows, you could just look up the food channel’s website and search for the recipe whether its sweet or salty they’ll have what you are looking for. Also, there is another reliable site; allrecipe.com where there would be recipes of all sorts post by any other people. Adding on to that, there would also be ratings and feedbacks on each recipe from those who have tried them out. This way, it would be easier for you to know which recipe would most likely work out.

There are recipes all over and what’s more? They’re all free! All you need is the Internet and you’ll be able to get any recipe you want. So why do some people still purchase cookbooks these days?
