I have to say I love Recipe Books. I just can't resist them. I have a large collection of recipe books and I do use them all, they don't justsit on a shelf collecting dust and not getting used.

When I need inspiration for a meal I will sit and flick through a few books, (I have little post it notes on some pages for favourites), quickly be reminded of a recipe I haven't cooked for a while andthen delight the family with an old favourite.

I do like recipe books with pictures, they really help you to understand what the meal is meant to look like at the end and helps you to aim forsomething nearly the same!

I have searched through many bookshops to find the best Greek Recipe Cook books for you. There are many on the market, some of them are not any good or indeed authentic Greek Recipes. A fancy cover and high price tag does not always deliver the best books!

So, here is a selection of the best recipe books and the most interesting. However, once you click on the link, do read their reviews, check out some sample pages and even search for other recipe books.

What I love about the old, family recipe books is allthe notes that have been written on the pages over the years to adapt it slightly to taste or different ovens.

Don't be shy to make your own notesin your cookery books, even after you've cooked and eaten the meal. It personalises the meals, saves time when you next cook and is great foryour kids to look back on after many years. When they leave home they'll be coming back asking how to cook them!

I have many old cookery books. I recently inherited all my mothers old cookery books, which took my on a trip down memory lane!

When I made a cake out of one of them last weekmy kids were raving about it, so a lot of the old recipes really do stand the test of time. Some of the old recipe books have unusual names fordishes, it's like a culinary history tour.
