I love going to cooking classes - it brings the recipes to life. The sounds, the smells, the tastes - you can't get that from the iPad - at least not yet! Sounds like a fun time.

I had a cousin who was an excellent cook and baker. Her take on cookbooks was that if you get only one recipe that you love and will repeat that recipe, the book paid for itself. In an emergency I will go to the internet for a recipe, but before I do that, I check out my books. It's so much more satisfying to hold something tangible in my hands. The only thing that beats this is watching someone else prepare a dish which I had a chance to do this past weekend. The chef prepared a dinner in front of us and then provided the printed recipe to each guest. She made it look so easy! We'll see.....

It may be that the future of recipes will be Kindle or iPad, but not of cookbooks. In my experience, many cooks (myself included) pull recipes off the internet. But there's still nothing like reading a cookbook to immerse oneself in a cuisine or foodie daydream. The techno tools may be functional, but they lack soul, and I don't believe they will replace a tangible book. Just call me an old-fashioned girl. I disagree with that on a technicality.

Not only can you have lists of recipies you can have on demand video demonstrations. I think the future of cookbooks will be Kindle or iPad.
