Expanding my Cookbook Collection
When I was growing up there were two staple cookbooks in my mom's kitchen. The first was a Disneyland cookbook which contained recipes inspired by Disney characters and their worlds and from food served in the various parks. The other was a 80's Better Homes and Gardens binder featuring recipes for Pineapple Upside Down cake and other food we no longer eat. I'm positive this cookbook was gifted to her when she attempted to make a Thanksgiving turkey with the bag of unmentionable gross parts still inside. It was her first try, to be fair.
I have no idea where these cookbooks are anymore, but that is probably for the best. As I continue to explore cooking I've turned to cookbooks for inspiration and help. I've already fallen in love with Chrissy Teigen's cookbook, Cravings, and I hope to add more to my collection soon. As for the cookbooks my mom owned...I never saw her use them for anything which is a shame. Mickey Mouse pancakes would have been pretty chill to have for breakfast.
