Well, at least that's what I have found over the years while working in one.
The main reason I bought the Norfolk Island Cookery Book, was because my youngest son had been over to Norfolk Island twice and loved it.
Cookbooks may be good to have around the home when you have families to feed, but not so good when you eat by yourself most nights, or with one other family member that does their own thing when it comes to meals.

The only cookbook I have on the bookshelf or in the kitchen now is the Norfolk Island Cookery Book, from which I have cooked none of the suggested recipes yet, and probably won't either.

So, the book to me was more of a motivation for me to at some point go to the island.
But my motivation isn't that great anymore, so I'll probably pass the book on to a street library now.
The thing with me when it comes to cooking is that I have set basic recipes that I have cooked over the years of foods I like and tend to stick with those, and when I feel like something different, I get takeaway or eat out ... like tonight.
