I see your blog is quite new!!!! It's brand-new!
Mine was started in september, so it's quite new actually.
I'm just like you, also obsessed with cookbooks and cooking blogs. I spend hours and hours readind recipes in the net, reading cooking blogs, checking the pictures... I don't like tv so I spend all my free time devoted to this. I even read cookbooks in bed just before sleep, I read recipes as novels!!!!!
Yes... it is just a baby! We have so much in common with our obsessions! My hubby bought me a laptop for Christmas, so now I can take my blog browsing everywhere!
