Btw, I have to put in a plug for the website
eatyourbooks.com. I finally bumped up my subscription to a year-long one ($25) with unlimited cookbooks for my 'virtual bookshelf'. IMO it seems a bit expensive, and I wish they would do something like a lifetime subscription for $80 or some other subscription option.
Anyhow, this morning I added all of my cookbooks only 28 and 18 of them had already been indexed, meaning that I can search those cookbook recipes using the website search and filters. I typed in rabbit as I have a rabbit in the freezer, and I got 21 rabbit recipes from my own cookbooks.
Not only does it save time, I think I will end up using my cookbooks more. The rabbit recipe that I chose, is actually from a book that I have yet to use but have owned for three years. If you have a lot of cookbooks and want to increase their functionality, it seems like a good service. But it is up to you if the search function, saved time, and increased utility is worth the 25 bucks per year. You can also try it out for free with only 5 cookbooks.
I like the service.
