Hoarding cookbooks. Should probably *do* something with them.

So, I’ve been wanting to do something with the “gazillion” of cookbooks occupying a cabinet in my kitchen.

For one thing, I keep buying them, and will eventually run out of space. I guess.

I made myself a challenge, to cook my way through them, to see which I want to keep and which I want to discard. My one rule for this “challenge” is that I have to cook two recipes from each cookbook before I decide its fate.

That means, I have to find two recipes in each cookbook that I *want* to make.

The first cookbook I picked, is the “5 ingredients” (Amazon affiliate link) cookbook by Jamie Oliver.

I see that I bought it on Amazon in July 2018. I had not opened it before this week, when time came to pick the first recipe.

• What I especially liked about the book, right from the start is the photos of the ingredients on the side of the recipe. It makes it quite accessible.
• I would have liked, if all the names of the recipes could have been in the Table of contents in the front of the book, in addtition to being in the index in the back.

The recipe was the Pasta with pears and gorgonzola.

I made a single portion.

Mine did not look as good as Jamie’s. Not by a long shot. But it did taste very good, was quick-ish to make without a lot of faffing about. So good that I made it again the next day.
