I like reading cookbooks, even ones from which I rarely use recipes. Some of them I read for sheer fun, some for general inspiration, some to get a feel for a cookery of a particular style or area. As you might gather from that, I like cookbooks with a lot of extra text and commentary and I am not very keen on large-format coffee-table cookbooks with lovely photographs, point-by-point recipes in large type and a massive price tag.
