i have some questions about cookbooks for you all, if anyone's got a moment to click a few buttons. basically i wanna get a sense of what things make a cookbook useful, usable, interesting and – crucially – something you wanna revisit. here we gooo:
first - do you prefer basic ingredient prep, e.g. slicing onions, in the ingredient list ("1 onion, thinly sliced") or in the instructions ("1 onion"... then "Step 2: Thinly slice your onion.")
next - do you read a cookbook intro where it lays out the conventions for the book and explains how to use the book? (e.g. "unless otherwise stated, all butter is unsalted")
do you rely more on recipe timings (bake for 30 minutes) or sensory cues (it's ready when risen and golden, and...)
when you look at a cookbook, what's your most common motivation for doing so?
think about your favourite ever cookbook. being honest, how many dishes do you cook from it?
thank you all so much for your help 
if there's anything else you wanna say, tell me! (what do you love/hate in a cookbook? what do you wish cookbooks did more/less?) i'm logging off for now while i recipe test, but i'll be checking in again this eve to get your feedback
