Me, too. I can't seem to let go of the cookbooks - especially Beard on Bread - even tho I no longer bake. Someday I hope to have enough strength to be able to bake for others without eating, but so far, that's not possible.

I wish Beard had known about low carb back in the day. He had plenty of fats in his diet - his recipes are where I learned about the beauty of cream & butter - but he ate (& drank) tons of carbs. Just think what wonderful recipes there would be had he embraced the lchf diet! Tho some of my vegetable recipes - like Green Beans Almondine - are from him.
