While I was making coffee this morning I decided to organise our cookbooks. We have a lot of books, some of which we use all the time and some of course we hardly ever use. The books often fall off the shelves, look a mess and are a pain to get to so it was time to deal to them. Poor Mr Ecochick was wondering what happened to me and his morning coffee.
So I pulled everything off the shelves and sorted the cookbooks into general cooking on the top shelf.
Baking and bread cookbooks n the bottom shelf.
Looks so much better. I used some old metal bookends that I had lying around to keep the books on the shelves. I put the most used books at the front for easy access. Mr Ecochick’s favourite and go to book or if he could have only one book is Stephanie Alexander’s The Cook Companion. Mine is Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall River Cottage Veg Every Day! Loving the tidy and organised look.

It definitely helps to have your cookbooks in order. I have mine on a large shelf in arms reach from the kitchen bench so I can easily access. I just got given a copy of Veg everyday, love it too.
I know I hope we’ll use them more now that they are so much easier to get to. Mx
