Mimi's Biography
<P>No matter what else Mimi is doing, she loves to cook and has used her skills to create bonds of friendship. She began cooking right after college, increasing her knowledge of foods and cooking techniques by reading cookbooks, subscribing to culinary magazines, and watching cooking shows. The greatest of her mentors was Julia Child, one of the earliest television chefs.</P>
<P><BR></P>
<P>She began to seriously collect cookbooks soon after she married her husband, JB, the hobby quickly becoming addictive. With bookshelves sagging under the weight of nearly a thousand volumes, some of the lesser used titles were stored in a box in the garage. One box turned to two, then four, and on and on it went.</P>

<P><A name=_Hlk135903574></A><A name=_Hlk135903573></A><A name=_Hlk135903568></A><A name=_Hlk135903567></A>In 1994 she discovered the Internet and was one of the first to create a Food and Cooking web site, Mimi?s Cyber Kitchen (<U><A href="http://www.cyber-kitchen.com/">http://www.cyber-kitchen.com/</A></U>), that is still going strong. It includes her own personal recipes, cooking tips and web links plus our <U><A href="http://www.cyber-kitchen.com/ubbs/">Recipe Request Forum</A></U> if you need cooking advise. Several years later she helped create the RecipeCircus (<U><A href="http://recipecircus.com/">http://recipecircus.com/</A></U>) where people can create their own recipe web sites. There are now more than 325,000 recipes online.</P>
<P><BR></P>
<P>and one of the biggest collections of recipes on the internet (<U><A href="http://recipecircus.com/">http://recipecircus.com/</A></U>) with more than 325,000 recipes, we started selling cookbooks on eBay. </P>
<P><BR></P>
<P>Mimi decided to sell off the least used of these cookbooks by offering them on Ebay. When sales were going well, JB suggested she open a store specializing in this. At first, she resisted, but then she decided it was worth a try.</P>
<P><BR></P>
<P>Thus was born Cookbooks Plus. Besides offering a large selection of every kind of new and gently used cookbooks, books on the home and family, kitchenware and goodies for fanatic cooks, she enjoys meeting the people who come in. </P>
<P><BR></P>
<P>Mimi is dedicated to working with her customers, listening as they describe the kind of cooking they like to do. By picking up clues from what they say, she is able to help them find a good match among the thousands of cookbooks available.</P>
<P><BR></P>
<P>She has also hosted radio programs on KHTS-AM 1220 in Santa Clarita California. You can listen to some of her broadcasts at <U><A href="http://www.cookbooksplus.com/broadcasts/">http://www.cookbooksplus.com/broadcasts/</A></U></P>
