It seems to be a trend to include more information, and like you say, more story-telling. And many include fact-boxes, "the origins of chocolate" and stuff like that, and.. I'm not that interested in those sort of things. It can be distracting, too! I think my ideal cookbooks still remain the ones with a little bit of chattiness, but mostly recipes.

There's a lot! Now there seem to be a trend about food and story-telling. It's about the history of the recipes rather than the actual making of it. I find it very interesting. It's adding something extra to the cooking!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
