Cookbooks: Recommend your favorite

All-time fave or current fave.

My current favorite, which I can see becoming my all time favorite is:  

Everyday Food Light

http://www.amazon.com/Everyday-Food-Quickest-Easiest-Calories/dp/0307718093/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335288717&sr=8-1

I've made about 8-10 things out of here and all have been excellent and gotten rave reviews from my family.

It's light, but doesn't use your typical light cooking ingredients. Like the cookie brownies...they are 105 calories each and very rich.  You only need one to satisfy your chocolate craving.  They have butter, sugar and bittersweet chocolate squares in the ingredients.

  • The Modern vegetarian kitchen by peter barley.
    image "...Saving just one pet won't change the world...but, surely, the world will change for that one pet..."
  • America's Test Kitchen Family Cookbook (I think that's the full name - don't have it in front of me). That thing has taught me the best ways to cook pretty much everything. Step by step instructions, complete with pictures. I love that thing!
    Oh, FFS.
  • My most used all time favorite is The Enchanted Broccoli Forest by Mollie Katzen / the Moosewood Collective. All the Moosewoods are really good though. I also love the Good Eats cookbook, though it.has maybe 20 recipes.in a 200+ page book... it gives a ton of general knowledge that's really nice to have beyond a specific recipe's methodology. I also have a 50s era Joy Of Cooking that makes me lol.

  • Joy of Cooking. I seldom use any other.
  • NY Times Cookbook is a great one to keep in the kitchen. Has so many classic recipes.

    Baby Birthday Ticker Ticker ...here is the deepest secret nobody knows (here is the root of the root and the bud of the bud and the sky of the sky of a tree called life; which grows higher than the soul can hope or mind can hide) and this is the wonder that's keeping the stars apart I carry your heart(I carry it in my heart)
  • My most used is the Flavor Bible, with the Gourmet cookbook a close second.

  • I like the Moosewoods too.

    And Heidi's Supernatural Every Day. She has some really good combinations that I would never think of on my own.

    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
  • I get all my basic recipies from the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook. I also have a bazillion recipes from the internet.
