Your Bookshelf

Your bookshelf is your personal cookbook library on Cookbooker. You can find it at My Bookshelf in the navigation.

Bookshelf tabs

The bookshelf is divided into four tabs:

• Books — all cookbooks on your shelf, with covers, ratings, and quick links to add a recipe review.
• Reviews — your written cookbook and recipe reviews in one place.
• Activity — a feed of activity from your favourite members, books and cookbook authors.
• Want to Try — cookbooks you've flagged for future use (see below).

Sorting and filtering

Above the book list you'll find source filters and sort options:

• Source filter — show only cookbooks, websites, or magazine issues, or view all together.
• Sort — order by date added, title (A–Z), or rating.

The bookshelf card

Each book on your shelf appears as a card showing the cover, title, author, community stats, and your personal rating.

• Community stats — how many recipes members have logged from this book, the average recipe rating, and number of written reviews.
• My Rating — your personal star rating for the book itself (1–5). Click the stars to rate or update.

Want to Try and Tried It

On the Want to Try tab, each bookshelf card shows a set of status buttons:

• Want to Try — you plan to cook from this book soon. The highlighted button shows the current status.
• Tried It — you've cooked at least one recipe from this book.
• Clear — remove the status. The book remains on your shelf under the Books tab.

Removing a book from your shelf

To remove a cookbook from your shelf, view the cookbook list in your bookshelf and click Remove from shelf. This removes the entry from your bookshelf but does not delete the cookbook from the site or remove any reviews you've written.
