Online recipe databases--and the game-changing tools they provide for finding dishes in an instant--have given old-fashioned cookbooks a serious run for their money.
But there's good news for die-hard cookbook collectors: A new website is bringing the immediacy (and searchability) of the web to your physical bookshelf.
Eat Your Books is a subscription-based site ($25 a year; $50 for a lifetime) that makes the recipes in your cookbook collection searchable by book title, recipe name and author--not to mention by ingredients and cuisine type.
Since it launched this past September, the site has quietly indexed more than 200,000 recipes from some 16,000 cookbooks.
After you identify which cookbooks on Eat Your Books match the titles you own (if a book doesn't appear on the site, users can request indexing), you can begin searching through your virtual bookshelf. The search results can be used to generate a shopping list of ingredients, tagged with the user's personal classifications or bookmarked as a "cook later."
So if you've been so spoiled by the Internet that your cookbooks have been collecting dust, here's a way to give them a new lease on life.
