I admit that I have more than 99 cookbooks. But after kicking off our renovations with breathing plaster, sweeping dust, and drinking a cold beer on a Friday night, 99 cookbooks on the wall seemed like a somewhat witty title. So, that’s where I’ll start!

My goal is to take down a cookbook, use it for a week, and provide ratings, reviews, and general thoughts about each cookbook. Real reviews from a real family. The good, the bad, and the ugly. Sometimes I’ll throw a little real life in there. And perhaps it will answer the question of “do you REALLY need another cookbook?” (YES!)
