I moved my multiple cookbook #bookstacks onto a bookcase in the hallway to get them out of the way while I work on cleaning and organizing my very cramped and cluttered content creator office and video studio. It was fun and felt good to arrange them sort of by color. Today was a reminder how very heavy stacks of cookbooks are! This is your behind the scenes look at the life of a busy content creator! Which cookbook would you pull off the shelf first to explore? -Carrie

Besides the menu (sorted into Snacks, Soups, Eggs, Rice, Meat, Fish & Seafood, etc) there are chapters with writings and photographs on Madrid, Sevilla, Valencia and Pamplona. This is the kind of cookbook you read cover to cover, savoring, taking notes and contemplating.
