I am working on a new cookbook of some of my grandmother's old recipes (she used to run a restaurant). If you could help me make the best cookbook possible by answering some of these questions, I'd appreciate it. What's important to you when looking for a cookbook? What types of cookbooks do you like to buy? What do others say about the cookbooks they have, and which ones they use frequently? Another other advice would be most welcome. Thanks!

This is bigjimbray, the things I check first or like to see in a cookbook, If it has a section on canning/preserving of fruits and vegetables. Jams/jellies. and how well the main food and dessert sections are. when I go to a new website for recipes the first thing I check is if it has any amish or soulfood sections. those are my favorites.                        Report
