Actual cookbooks are better than online recipe slop sites.
Physical cookbooks are great.
Cool thing though, if you want to search for digital recipes online but don't want slop sites, use your local library's app and just check out an eCookbook.
It's even ad free!
(You can also go checkout a physical cookbook as well! They have an entire section at your library for them! 641.5x under the dewey decimal system!)

I’ve come to believe that the vast majority of recipes on the internet are bad and physical cookbooks are more important than ever
Except for a handful of recipe creators I really trust (King Arthur for baking, old seriouseats, etc)
I prefer physical cookbooks
"Finland has more than 700 libraries offering everything from podcast studios and 3D printing to tennis rackets and swimming pool passes.
The most borrowed items after books in Helsinki libraries are spaces: rooms that can be pre-booked, free of charge, to meet, study, hold political discussions or make music. Among portable items, board games and console games top the list."

I'm very happy that @deichman #libraries offer a range of similar services in #Oslo 💕

"Today, many people in cities live in small homes, and they might need a sewing machine only once a year. So why buy one?
People prefer not to spend their own money when they can access a sewing machine for free, funded through their taxes."

What if you could fight book bans by buying a book?
