Dozens of cookbooks and not a recipe to make!

Sound familiar? Over the years, through blogging and gifts and my own purchases, I've amassed quite a nice little collection of cookbooks. I probably easily have more than 50 cookbooks in the house (and that doesn't even include the ones that Mr Science owns!)*. And yet, so often, we find…
