Do you have a favorite cookbook that you use all the time? Are you too lazy to type up every single recipe in there for this guild?
...I thought so. Me too. So, here's a good place to write down what your favorite cookbooks are. Its a great way to share without the risk of carpel tunnel syndrome. blaugh

I'll go first:
Cooking for the Rushed -- Its one of the Weight Watchers cookbooks, and it's GREAT! Especially if you've just moved out and are living on your own, cuz they're easy recipes that don't take long to do.

I think one of my favorites has gotta be Cakes and Bakes.
I'm not sure who it's written by but it had some good baking recipes in it.

I absolutely ADORE Ina Garten and her Barefoot Contessa cookbooks. Only downside is her recipes take a while, and they are expensive to make...but man oh man- the food you come up with is seriously gourmet!! MMMM!!! Her 5 cheese penne pasta is my fave!

I'm a fan of Escoffier's Le Guide Culinaire and Le Carnet d'Epicure. I also liked Jacques Pepin's La Technique. Laid the foundation for my knife skills that way, without paying tens of thousands of dollars attending CIA. Did spend several dollars on onions and carrots to practice with, though.

Some of my best recepies come from Whatchagot Stew by Patrick McManus and Patricia McManus-Gauss. I kid you not. I also have Alton Brown's I'm Just Here For The Food, book and it's great.

i only own three cookbooks and i haven't used any of them yet. sweatdrop but um, i feel really inspired by Food Network Kitchens: How to Boil Water. 3nodding it's great for the beginner cook and has lots of yummy things in it. i can't wait to make one of the recipes! biggrin
edit: i like anna olson's books for sweets. i find them so inspiuring since i want to be a pastry chef!
