For me, its flipping through the book before I even buy it to see if I would even make any of the recipes on a regular basis. For example, would these be appropriate week night meals or just special occasion meals, etc.
Frankly, my favorite cookbooks are those that are compiled of recipes from a group of people. My most favorite one is from the nurses and doctors from the hospital my sister works at. Tried and true recipes! Yum! :)
