Hold your breath and watch as cookbooks duke it out with the net! Place your bets here.

The Internet is the biggest, baddest cookbook known to mankind, and one of evolution's finest creations. There is one problem only, the secret horror that no one talks about, a possibly dangerous loss of time; when a lost soul surfs for a recipe, days can go by. Recipes can go by. It's a recipe blackout. What to make and how to make it. And the diversity on those dinner options is astounding, from ingredients, cooking methods, single serving, and more. Adjustments to recipes can be found, whether the change is amount of servings or a switcheroo on an ingredient. Although the hardcover cookbooks are still pulled out on occasion, time's a wasting. The world demands it now. It's nearly a surprise that anyone cooks at all. The word recipe itself attracts 137,000,000 hits. Many of these sites offer free recipes. Bon Apptit does not; it is $1.00 per issue, $12.00 per year.

I love the internet and all it's recipes made available at the touch of a button. but a time saver? If you spent time looking up the variety of one recipe, you would never get around to cooking.
I maybe a little behind the internet age, but i love a cookbook. I like the feel that comes from holding it and takng it with me, and looking through it time and again.
Maybe, saving the recipes printed off the computer, we should put in our home cookbooks. Besides I bet most people who do cook, cook for the family and use the same basic recipes over and over again, maybe a total of 20 through their lives, with slight ingredient variations, but over and over and over again. If Mystic loves grandmas lasagne, grandma is not going to screw with her recipe for the sake of fashion.
