Recently on Style Lush, Rebecca posted about hosting a clothing swap and one of our readers @lexilooo tweeted about not only hosting one of her own but also about hosting a cookbook swap. It'd be a similar situation but instead of clothes people would bring cookbooks they don't use and hopefully swap them for ones they would be more interested in/have been hoping to get. She has many that she isn't currently using and don't we all? I thought this was a fabulous idea and couldn't wait to share it with all of you.
Wouldn't it be fun to have everyone cook a dish from a book that they are bringing to the swap? That way the menu is covered AND you can get a real feel for the kind of dishes actually in whatever cookbooks available to swap, instead of just what you see on the cover.
Whichever books are left at the end could be donated to a local charity or library so everyone wins!
I think I am going to have to host one of these myself very soon. Thanks for the idea Lexi!

that is my old apartment, though I still have about the same amount of cookbooks...actually, a few more, as this photo was taken a couple of years ago!
