Getting Started

How many of you have bought cooking books and are now sitting nicely on a shelve collecting dust? anyone? I do.

I sometimes buy books to make one or two recipes (few times) then get bored. Now, considering that I promised few people do this, I will try to make every recipe in every book that I own.

I won't share how many these are in total, but it would be interesting to see how long does it take a person with a full time job and busy social calendar to complete. I'll try to take pictures of the dishes that look like the ones in the books, with the garnish, decoration and all. 

By doing so, I should achieve and learn a number of things: not to buy more books, experiment even if I'm not sure, familiarize myself with new tools/techniques & evaluate the writers of those books. 

I'll start with the New Year & see how far this public commitment will take me :) so enjoy reading and wish me luck!
