We didn't really have cookbooks when I was a kid, except for a Betty Crocker cookie cookbook we used every Christmas. So I don't use them for nostalgia's sake, I use them because I want to try a lot of food combinations which are new to me that I would never think to put together on my own.
I've been in a heavy cookbook-buying mode, collecting all the traditional ones as well as a bunch of WW cookbooks. Then I got 3 big cookbooks over the holidays -- Moosewoods Low-Fat Favorites, Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking (a gift from jood) and Deborah Madison's Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone (recced by several on my flist) -- and that's put a stop to my buying. I need to read and start using these, once I can find some time to look at them. Right now, I'm finding tons of good recipes in the WW cookbooks.
