I do both, but when I want a recipe, I typically go to the net, only because I will get some variations that I wouldn't get from a single or even a collection of cookbooks. Of course, it's wise to have cookbooks, one never knows when the internet might go down, you lose your computer or internet access...
Some books only have one or two decent recipes in them, so I'll scan what I like and save them in a notebook. Either way, I can browse recipes all day long. :O)
Love to read the comments people include with their recipes (in print or online) as well.
I use both....I have a lot of recipe books, with all my favorites marked, but more and more, when i have the urge to try something new, i'm finding my recipes online.
Well, I'm 15, so my mom usually cooks for me XD but she always uses the vegetarian cookbooks I got her to cook for me, since I'm a vegetarian, obviously. And it takes a while to look for recipes on the web! With a cookbook, you can just open it up to the recipe you want!
I have had cook books in the past. The best one was How to Boil An Egg. It was dead simple, got it when I first moved out of my parents home. It had all the basics, how to do a roast dinner, make pancakes etc. Very handy when you are 19.
Too many cook books use too many obscure ingredients. e.g "For best results only use milk that has been extracted from a 3 year old Tibeten yak".
Momofuko, by David Chang David Chang is the hottest chef in America, and Momofuku is the book that shares his sought-after recipes with explosive Asian flavors, his food inspirations, his tricks of the trade, and a behind-the-scenes look at his now world-renowned restaurants.
Momofuku is both the story and the recipes behind the cuisine that has changed the modern-day culinary landscape. Chang relays with candor the tale of his unwitting rise to superstardom, which, though wracked with mishaps, happened at light speed. And the dishes shared in this book are coveted by all who've dined--or yearned to--at any Momofuku location (yes, the pork buns are here). This is a must-read for anyone who truly enjoys food.
“David Chang is magical--that’s why it’s so difficult to explain what he does. I can only tell you that you need to experience his cooking; it will move you deeply. He is a chef of prodigious talent–and also a great guy.” —Ferran Adrià
“The breathless hype is true. His food is as good and as exciting as everyone says it is. David Chang has opened up a new direction in dining and cooking. With his troika of Momofukus, he changed the whole game. Scary-smart, funny, and ambitious, the wildly creative Chang is the guy all chefs have got to measure themselves by these days.” --Anth...

“As a food professional I am always on the look out for the new, the different, and the delicious. It was with great pleasure that one day I tasted David Chang’s pork buns at Momofuku. Since then, I have sampled almost all of his delectable creations and I am so pleased that I finally have a book of recipes that will allow me to try to emulate them at home.” --Martha Stewart
I have always noticed that recipes from cookbooks are always better than recipes from the internet. The recipe has to be good if its getting published, anyone can just upload a recipe online. I'm not saying all online recipes are bad, I'm just saying that they are hard to find
