26. I am still using that old cook book!

It has a recipe from brownies that are perfectly chewy-crunchy, and choc. smudges all over the page, I've used it so much.

People are going back to the "old" recipe books because they used a lot of real food in them.
Actually it is still in my mom's kitchen drawer, buty I hope to inherit it ;) FirstLight May 2020 #1
