What's your favorite cookbook?

I have about 20+ cookbooks including Joy of Cooking but my favorite is "Best Ever Three & Four Ingredient Cookbook" by Jenny White. You can turn out some beautiful. impressive looking and delicious dishes-- appetizers, entrees, desserts, etc. using only 3-4 ingredients (excluding things like salt, pepper, etc.)

I love to cook complex dishes but I find this one to be the most creative.

I am a chef.

I have a few favorites - so I will not try to identify my absolute favorite, but I will list the top five:

Best Recipe (by the editors of Cooks Illustrated) (each recipe tried in a hundred different ways to find the absolute best. VERY informative. Maybe too informative...)

The Martha Stewart Living Cookbook. Compiled from the first 10 years of her magazine. Excellent collection

Joy of Cooking. The bible of virtually every How-To

King Arthur Book of Baking. Every baked good you ever heard of, and many you didn't.

That's it. Good luck finding your own favorites

I love Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking 2 volumes to learn the expert basics, Dianna Kennedy for learning real Mexican Cuisine, Barbara Tropp's 2 books for innovative Chinese Cooking,Southern Living Magazine publishes some wonderful, reliable books and yes, my tattered old copy of Joy of Cooking is a thrift store find from the 1950s which I prefer to newer versions.

Hi

I see that you are a food enthusiast and love to cook different foods. I was not very good at cooking until I came across a cooking recipe book that was so simple for me to follow but more importantly gave me tremendous results.

There are just these simple easy to follow recipes which I found simple. I learned a blot but the best thing is the excellent result.

I am sure you would find this helpful..Take a look at the video and see if this will make you even better cook.

To your health.

I enjoy looking through cookbooks, especially regional ones when we travel. But I agree that the Joy of Cooking is my go-to.....where else can you find out how to cook bear meat?! I also like all of the Moosewood cookbooks.

I collect cookbooks, recipe booklets, etc. You don't want to know how many I have. My all-time favorite is Charmaine Solomon's Complete Asian Cookbook. (I have the original edition and don't know how the subsequent editions may have changed.)
