Favorite cookbooks
I'm a cookbook fiend. I don't think I can ever have enough. and I read them like novels. I read recipes I never intend to cook, recipes I wouldn't even enjoy. I read way more cookbooks than novels.

Anyway, the wife and I are cleaning upstairs before some family come to visit, and the wife wants to get rid of some. Well, we can get rid of some. They can't all be winners.

I don't know if this is my favorite, but it holds some sentimental value. This was my first one, purchased in 1986 or 1987 from a traveling encyclopedia salesman. I was 8 or 9 years old and I convinced my mom to buy it for me. I even remember a couple recipes I cooked from it - one of the spaghetti sauce recipes, which was the first thing I made from it; the grilled Cornish game hens I made for my parents' wedding anniversary when I was 10.

It's like a reunion with an old friend.

the other thing I like about RR's books are how they're laid out. very easy to read, not too busy etc.
Yes. I have several of her books and told the wife to get rid of them all except the original one and the first 30 Minute Meals book. The rest are going to a garage sale.

When you get a chance, post up one of your favorite Ramsay recipes. I'd be interested to try one. I have made his "perfect rice" dish he did on his Youtube channel once. It was damn good rice as far as rice goes.

This is my wife's. In this day and age, we look our recipes up online on our tablets now. Haven't used a cookbook in quite sometime.

My cookbook I use a lot was an old Betty Crocker my Mom gave me when I first moved out on my own. I refer to it still to this day.

I bought this one recently and highly recommend. It has a lot of kitchen tools they recommend also.

I've probably got that same old Betty Crocker book:



My mom actually gave one just like this to my wife a couple years ago. I'm not sure if it was hers or one she found on eBay.

I have a couple of ATK's books, and I have every magazine of Cook's Illustrated since 1993. Love them.

Glad you made this thread because now I'm missing one of my favorite books, time to tear this place apart.

Here's a few I enjoy, the Costco one is actually really good and it was free at the entry one day. Who doesn't like free?

Buying a cookbook today is just like using the yellow pages to look up a phone number-a complete waste of time.

There are probably 50,000,000,000 or more GREAT recipes online for every imaginable food and that includes many of the recipes from all the so called stars of cooking, like Julia Child, Jacques Pépin, Mario Batali, Bobby Flay, and Emeril Lagasse to name a few.
