My cookbooks live in the library. I don't think anyone of them have ever been in the kitchen. Normally, all I need from them is inspiration, but for bread and pickling, I normally want the "recipe as it stands" down pat. For bread, because it may go weird and for pickling because otherwise it may go lethal.
Other than that? Nah, recipes ar ethings that happen to other people. I can, usually, recreate a previously produced dish, if (and only if) I can re-capture the mindset at the time.
