About me

Location Minneapolis, Minnesota, United States
Introduction Welcome to Collectible Cooking! My name is Ann Verme and I’ve been interested in cooking and food my whole life. My love of food started early: my favorite toys were my Easy Bake Oven and my Betty Crocker Junior Baking Kit. My first “collectible” cookbook was The Better Homes and Gardens New Cook Book (copyright 1976), given to me by my mom during college, and after that, it was all over but the crying. I make frequent “buying” trips to some of my favorite cookbook stores in New York (links are posted on the blog) and try to collect wherever I go. I also authored a family cookbook and was co-project manager of the 1999-2000 Minneapolis-St. Paul Zagat Survey. I currently have over 1000 cookbooks in my collection and it is my goal to cook my way through them, one recipe one book at a time!
