This is an approximate answer, as I'm in Kendal and therefore not able to go and count them.

N.b. This is after weeding out about a dozen earlier this year as I ran out of shelf, and a dozen last year, and does not include two volumes containing probably hundreds of recipes I've copied from 3-4 dozen books belonging to my mother and other libraries.

Plus some more that I haven't yet liberated from my father's house.

I've put 100, but Lil has just counted 130 on the shelves by the kitchen, and I'm sure there are others scattered around.

Admittedly a lot are Sainsburys paperbacks - heavily used.

I might *own* c15 cookbooks but I don't actually *use* them for more than food porn... Kudos for referencing on of my favourite Asimov stories!

...but I rarely use any of them. Making up recipes is much more fun!

I do not eat. I am powered by non-sequiturs and the colour yellow.

Not able to count them. also do you count the montly waitrose recipes cards as a book, or only each annual pile?

How come my answer of '0' doesn't show in the chart?

Need to go and count them. Not going to do it now...

I guessed, as I couldn't be bothered to go down two floors to count them :)

Your scale doesn't begin to go high enough :-D

I had 158 the last time I counted them properly, which was in 1996...

I've acquired one or two more since then so I'd guess somewhere between 300 to 400.

Mine is a bit of an estimate. I have to try very hard not to keep puying more books all the time though. I've been very restrained over the last couple of years and have even got rid of a few, so I've got about forty at the moment. It might be more though.

Was going to tick 5 or 10, but then thought I'd count them to find out which it was...

appears I may have slightly under-estimated
