So...is it just me? Or do you love a good "church" cookbook? You know the kind - something put out by a local church or club or organization. Like Junior Achievement League, Junior League, Auxiliary Clubs, etc.
They are always spiral bound.
And you can usually always find them at thrift book stores.
I feel like these are the best cookbooks in a way. They may not have any pictures but they are full of recipes that were each contributed by a different person. A person that chose one of their BEST recipes to give to the cookbook.
I find a high percentage of recipes in these types of books that I make or have tagged to try making in the future. I tend to look for entertaining type recipes since we do so much or it - or attend so many things where you bring something to share.
I recently went to a large used book store in Chattanooga where I found 7 new ones! Just curious if anyone else is of this same opinion? If so, do you some favorites to share? What makes it a favorite?
Here is fun article about them!
