do you need the visual appeal of a photo in order to cook a recipe?

Jen! Thanks for the reminder.

I guess I have to say no too, I use Stephanie Alexander all the time I have a lot of reference books I use actually including the Larousse Gastronomique!

YES lol. We had the book man come with his books, and there LOADS of cookbooks. Lots with no pictures and I won't even buy a book like that.

I did buy a book called 'Mmmm ... Chocolate' hehehehehe a picture for every recipe. OH YEAH! (but my bum screams no... oh well hehe)
