I cannot quite believe it but today is the 10th anniversary of the launch of Eat Your Books. The very first post on the blog was on launch day and I announced there were 550 books indexed. That number has now grown to 8,768 indexed books and 3,864 indexed magazines – a total of 1.8 million recipes indexed! We plan for the site to grow at an even faster pace over the next 10 years.

The basic idea of the site is unchanged in that time – to make it easier for you to find recipes in your own collection – but many extra features have been added over the 10 years. And we have plans for more exciting developments in the next year.

We have a wonderful team at EYB – several of them have been with us from the start. Fiona and I are so grateful to them all and also to our wonderful members, many of whom have also been with us for many years.

There are lots of fantastic giveaways planned this month as part of our celebrations – so keep checking back on the blog. And please do spread the word about EYB to all your friends and family who love to cook. We know there are many cookbook lovers out there who have not yet heard about the site.

    Happy anniversary! I discovered EYB in October 2009 and have been a member ever since. I honestly don't know what I'd do without EYB. I can't really remember what my cooking life was like before EYB. Here's to many more years!

    Congratulations!! It seems like it's been longer, hard to remember a time without EYB.

    Congratulations! EYB is definitely an essential part of my cooking life.

    Wow, 10 years! I have thoroughly enjoyed my tenure here and use EYB almost daily…..having 6,488 cookbooks, it sure helps to have so many of them indexed, so I can easily find a recipe. Thanks to Jane and everyone for such a great idea, carried off with aplomb and always looking forward to new and refreshing additions. Congratulations!

    Love EYB, just sorry I only learned of it a little over a year ago.

    Congratulations! I love Eat Your Books. It has transformed my use of my cookbooks and I love having a significant number of recipes bookmarked as favourites that I can turn to when I want to cook something that I know will be very well received.

    Happy Anniversary! I didn't join until June 2010 so I can't celebrate my own EYB anniversary yet but I'm so glad that I found you.
    EYB brought new life to my cookbook collection!

    Congratulations! I found you just a few months after you launched, and have been a charter member ever since. It's fabulous to see how it's grown. I also remember the start of the forum – I should – I was the very first poster! These days I don't have the time to participate the way I used to, but I still count on EYB to keep my recipes at my fingertips.

    Thank you so much Jane & Fiona for what you created here!
