What is your favorite cook book?

I mostly go online to get my recipes, but I think I want to start working out of books.

The Food Matters Cookbook and How To Cook Everything Vegetarian, both by Mark Bittman.

I love Desperation Dinners...they're all 20 minute recipes (well, not for me, but for someone who chops fast and multitasks better). They're good recipes and are supposed to be child-friendly.

Must I pick just one?? I'm a cookbook hor. 


Right now I love Meatless by Martha Stewart. And Smitten Kitchen. And Slow Cooker Revolution. And Olive Trees and Honey

I like Pioneer Women and still enjoy 365 No Repeats even though her recipes are pretty basic.

The Joy of Cooking is probably the actual book that we use the most. Usually we look up recipes online or use the collection of recipes that my grandmother gave me (if we are using a recipe).

I want to get this one. We watch the show this is based on Saturday mornings, and we have the magazines. However, it would be more convenient to have the cookbook instead of a pile of magazines.

Mine is no help, but my favorite recipe book is one that my mom made for me of all of her recipes when I went off to college. I use it all the time, but get most of my other recipes off of Pinterest/the Internet.

Love America's Test Kitchen (big red book)... Lots of great recipes and also ratings on tools/appliances and the such. Also, tells you about certain cuts (sizes of food), how to do things like blanching etc. They put out the magazine Cook's. Which one day I was looking in the book and saw that it was printed in Brookline, MA, right behind where I used to work at the Jimmy Fund (Dana Farber)!! I really wish they had an "open" kitchen for people to come and really eat their prepared stuff!
