Please post links or descriptions of your favorite cookbooks!

My current favorite is the Bride & Groom's First & Forever Cookbook. Not just because I'm a newlywed, but because everything in it is proportioned for 2 people!!! Most cookbooks I find have family-size servings, and when you're just cooking for two, you either have to hope you've altered the ingredient proportions correctly, or else you waste a bunch of food! It has a wide variety of foods and well-written instructions. You'll be cooking like a gourmet!

Who needs a cookbook when you have the intarweb?

 

I don't have the interweb in my kitchen...

 

I do

But when I didnt, I would use this thing called a printer

 

Although I think that in the near future there will be a solution to this problem.... I've actually found that the sheer numbers of recipes available online make it difficult to find a good one. If you google "chocolate chip cookies", for instance, there are 500 billion cookie recipes that come up... I'd rather have a compendium of recipes from a chef that I already know and like, than have to sift through the billions of probably crappy recipes online.

Also, I don't have a working printer right now.

 

Good point. However, if you go to FoodNetwork.com, you'll find a plethora of recipes from well known chefs...like Bobby Flay and some guy named Emril...

 

My wife likes The Fannie Farmer cook book for a lot of simple meals. We also just got one from William Sonama on different meat recipies but I haven't really looked through it yet.
