Holiday Project

After just finishing Julie & Julia, I’ve been inspired to take on a holiday food project of my own. By the end of the holidays I’m going to have tried at least one recipe from EVERY SINGLE ONE of my cookbooks. Like most people, I have many many cookbooks that I’ve never used, so this will a) make them all useful additions to the library, and b) mean I will have more recipes to try when I can’t be bothered trying something new, and c) identify gaps in the cookbook array so I can buy more!!
