I myself love getting cookbooks and novels that some congenial person has already tried and liked.

I've written many nonfiction books, but that's a special gift.

I do believe there will always be a place for beautiful cookbooks that are real books.

I have been incredibly lucky with my novels but I had absolutely no idea if anyone would be interested in a cookbook. So I started to think about self-publishing.

I've got around 400 cookbooks.

My husband wrote me love letters while I was on location in Canada and pregnant. They turned into being about food, and it turned it into a cookbook. He called it 'The Tuscan Cookbook for the Pregnant Male.' It was kind of genius. When I took it a book agent, he was like, 'Men don't buy cookbooks.'

I love cookbooks for completely different reasons. I love 'The Harry's Bar Cookbook' and Marco-Pierre White's 'White Heat' for their feel. For pure learning, Gray Kunz wrote a great cookbook, 'The Elements of Taste', published in 2001. The first time I read Charlie Trotter's, the Chicago chef's first cookbook, I was blown away.

I looooove cookbooks. I cook a lot when I'm pregnant.

I love cookbooks, and I have a ton. I have shelves of cookbooks.

I have a good collection of cookery books. This is not so much because I like cooking, but because I like eating.
