Where do Cook Books Belong? #217

This question came up in: https://github.com/dwyl/home/issues/216#issuecomment-1363751901 image

The quick answer is: No. Books belong in the library. The kitchen gets lots of steam and - believe it or not - grease in the air when cooking. So it's not a good place to store books. We have over 100 cook, recipe, healthy eating, etc. books. They take up a lot of space in the library. There isn't currently an _ideal place to store them. We need at least double the space we have currently (for books) In order to adequately display them all. We don't have that yet ... But if we can just measure and calculate how much book storage we need, I can help address that in January when I'm back @home

To be clear: I don't have anything against having ONE cook book in the kitchen at a time to be used as a reference while preparing a recipe. The problem is: people forget to return the book to the library once they have finished using it. And thus multiple books accumulate in the kitchen. πŸ˜• #clutter But longer term, I want to transfer any recipe we make from the cook book to our meal-planning App so that we can track when we make the recipe and thus the book stays on the shelf instead of cluttering the kitchen.
