<p>I've found my love of reading includes browsing and collecting retro cookbooks and home type magazines. Probably my biggest pet peeve (or maybe should say sadness) is what passes for food today...especially in chain restaurants. Much of it is processed beyond recognition ! It's SO much healthier and cheaper to cook and enjoy ALL kinds of dishes at home. If it can be ordered out, it CAN actually be prepared at home (LOL) You're in control and only are limited by your imagination.</p>
