How many cookbooks is enough cookbooks?
“Many people, myself among them, feel better at the mere sight of a book.” ― Jane Smiley
“If you are careful,' Garp wrote, 'if you use good ingredients, and you don't take any shortcuts, then you can usually cook something very good. Sometimes it is the only worthwhile product you can salvage from a day; what you make to eat. With writing, I find, you can have all the right ingredients, give plenty of time and care, and still get nothing. Also true of love. Cooking, therefore, can keep a person who tries hard sane.”
— John Irving, The World According to Garp
