The Start - My Cookbook Challenge

I recently unpacked my collection of recipe books, I've always had a bit of a attraction to recipe books (to be honest, I've never met a cookbook I don't like).  But it was only when I unpacked them all that I realised that my attraction may actually be an issue! 
I would like to blame Booko and the Book Depository for increasing the size of my library, but it is simply that I love cookbooks!  I love the covers and the look of them, I love everything about them!
I also discovered whilst unpacking that a lot of the books I have I've either never made anything out of them or its been so long that I don't remember what I cooked.

So, I decided to set myself a challenge.  Every week, for however long it takes, I am going to make at least one thing out of every recipe book I own... To clarify, I'm picking one cookbook a week and doing a recipe from that.

I've got a few rules:

Rule 1:  I can't cook something I've cooked before

Rule 2:  I can't just cook from my new books, the old ones need to be used as well

I think that's about it? 

Be warned, I have a tendency to waffle, but I shall try to keep it short.  I also tend to loose interest really quickly so I'll need to keep motivated, also I have no idea what I'm doing so you may need to bare with me :)

But anyway, this is just the introduction so I better get started cos this may take a while :)

Thanks
