I prefer blogs because it's often a real person who has made that recipe, while I find some cook books have these elaborate recipes that are really hard to live up to.

I prefer blogs. I find them to be way more personal - the bloggers often include tidbits about their lifestyle, family, friends, etc, which the voyeur in me loves - and I love being able to read and leave comments myself. Plus, it's way easier to get into contact with a blogger than an author! I also like that bloggers usually tend to be just everyday folks, instead of trained chefs/cooks, which means the language they use is usually easier to understand.

I wish I had more cookbooks because I like both. So it looks like I stick to blogs even though I prefer both types for recipes.

I have tons of cookbooks but I love blogs a tiny bit more.

I love them both! I cruise foodgawker(.com) a lot, but books are magical.

I use both. If I'm looking for something new, I'll use blogs, but for old standards (pancakes, muffins, etc.) I'll use a book.

I like both, that way you can find different variations of the same thing.

Cooking blogs because I can go through lots of those very fast and free, but have to go out of my way to go to a bookstore or library. Never tried electronic cookbooks and might deem them similar to blogs but without comments

Blogs, for sure.
