³Ô¹ÏÍ·Ìõ

We know you can get innumerable recipes online, but there's just something about a cookbook that someone has put together and (hopefully) tested the recipes until they're just right.

Both ³Ô¹ÏÍ·Ìõ Library locations with circulating book collections have cookbooks available. From classics to new releases, check out the TX location on our shelves for all your cookbook needs.

Prefer to read your cookbook on a tablet? The NC LIVE HomeGrown Ebooks Collection has some real gems-- from bacon to beans (gotta love ) to s'mores and sheet pans.

Click on the book titles above to go to the database. Log on from home using your ³Ô¹ÏÍ·Ìõ username and password, just like for Canvas or Self-Service.

Julie Humphrey, the ³Ô¹ÏÍ·Ìõ Library director, explored our on-shelf cookbook collection at Main Campus, cooked a recipe or two, and has some recommendations for you.
