It's sadly true that I am more likely to cook a recipe if I scan it, run it through OCR, and then copy the recipe into a locked journal post then if I just buy the cookbook.
I've been checking out cookbooks from the library for months now, flipping through them, and then mainly using the results to tell me what to google to find the recipe again on a site like cooks.com. But if the dish works? THEN it goes in my journal. Which is to say, yes, there are too many steps in this process... *g*
