As we prepare to unveil our new look on the Food channel, we're interested in hearing how 'evolved' your kitchen has become.  Your comments might be used in promotional releases.


Do you rely more  on online recipes versus cookbooks? 
Tell us why your laptop is the “It” appliance in your kitchen.  Do you use your iPod or phone to download recipes or update your grocery list?


Do you prefer to interpret recipes, rather than follow the recipe verbatim?  Do you share your “new and improved” recipes with friends?

I hardly cook anymore Bren. I used to make intricate meals that took days to prepare for and also made good old fashioned large meals too. I loved recipes and cook books were my favorite reading material. Now, though,

well I started with a homemade cookbook(by me) and a cheap set of pots and pans.


Having raised 4 boys and a step son and daughter...either fast, crock pot, or roasted were always the easiest. In the summer we live in the yard and bbq or campfire it!


Nowadays i have a lot of recipes in my head...years of cooking. I do look on the net a lot lately..esp since we are in reno and i can't always get to my cookbooks! i would love to see a lot more recipes with both imperial and metric measurements. i wish i had a lptop to take to the kitchen. i do a lot of printing off recipes.
