And yeah, there's a shit ton of crap in books, too. But you generally can find authors you trust and stick with them. And beside the point - sometimes I like to just sit down and thumb through a cookbook. Using a Kindle is an awful experience for many cookbooks. |

I've gotten some good ones from an Andew Weil book, but I don't know which book. I just wrote the recipes down on note-cards. Mostly salads.

With a cookbook I can browse and find something I might like to try. Its a lot harder on the internet.

Cookbooks are like a snapshot in time based on when they were written. Online is fast and handy but reading old cookbooks opens up a whole different perspective on what and how we cook

I'll have my favorite when FMB decides to publish his own.

My favorite is titled Real Beer and Good Eats. It has many recipes where beer is an ingredient or foods that pair well with beers. Cooking Danish is another of my favorites.

The ex brought these with her - she's from Louisiana and these were her 'go to' cookbooks. If you like cajun or creole - they're from long before that stuff got popular.
http://www.amazon.com/Cookbook-Louis.../dp/0935032029 http://www.amazon.com/River-Road-Rec...D8BJERF0XXSZZ6 Richard Olney was a cookbook writer, a good one - and this is my favorite of his books. Lulu's Provencal Table. http://www.amazon.com/Lulus-Provenca...rovencal+table Another by Olney - http://www.amazon.com/Provence-Beaut.../ref=pd_cp_b_1 But this is my favorite old-skool Mediterranean cookbook - Honey from a weed. It will tell you how to make a lot of dishes - but it's not formatted like a cookbook. Whatever, just find a copy somewhere and enjoy. http://www.amazon.com/Honey-Weed-Fea...ey+from+a+weed

I really like the Joy of Cooking because it is far more than a collection of recipes. It teaches you how to cook. Julia Child's cookbook, another favorite of mine, is much the same way.

This was the first cookbook I ever purchased: FMB, if you don't have it, I'd recommend (at least for you) Harold McGee's seminal work "On Food & Cooking:" It's not a recipe book, but rather an encyclopedic look at the science and history behind the main aspects of cooking. I consider it a near-masterpiece level work of literature (especially the revised, 20th anniversary edition) and perhaps the reference point for food and the culinary craft. |
