Do You Have a Favorite Cookbook?

hi ladym^^;; wow! 25years? that is a real treasure to keep. i too have the Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook copyright 1996. i find the recipes easy to follow and ingredients have their own substitute as some of them are quite difficult to find in my country so knowing the substitute is really helpful. it's the only cookbook i trust so far and it's the one recommended by coach who really loves cooking.

I've got a couple. Better Homes is among them. I also have an old Mayberry cookbook, from the old Andy Griffith tv show, it has alot of trivis throughout the pages and the recipes are all related to the characters..Like Aunt Beas Kerosene cucumbers. My favorite cook book is actually an old recipe box of my grandmas, all the recipes are in her hand writing and they have these cute little anectedotes on some of them. One of my favorites is her apple pie recipe that the must have entered in a fair of some kind..on the back of the card it reads "took blue ribbon, I knew it was better than Ediths..I have a great aunt edith that was not the sweetest person in the family..I can imagination her envy when grandma won. One of my other favorite is a cookie recipe that has a note on it that says, leave out almonds..violet swelled up like a stuffed turkey. Someday one of your kids is going to feel that way about that old one you love so much.

I have a crockpot cookbook my hubby bought me one year. We use some of the recipes in it onnce in a while. Comes in handy. My grandmother had that Better Homes and Gardens cookbook. She loved it. It seems to be popular even today.

I had a cook book by the Frugal Gourmet many years ago. I used to get recipes out of that. There were a lot of good soup recipes in that book, and I used to make all kinds of different soups. I don't know what ever happened to that cookbook I have not seen it in a long time. My wife may know where it is at. I don't do much cooking anymore my wife does most of the cooking these days.

Yup and my favorite cookbook is all about baking and cooking food using different methods of cooking meat, fish, chicken and vegetables. My collection nowdays are all about the Italian culinary recipes and paula deen recipes. They both a collection of the traditional and conventional cooking recipes and different method on it. I learn a lot from it and happy to follow the instructions which is quite successful.

i've a lot of cookbooks but i don't have a favourite one beacause i take recipes from different books every day, i thake them also in internet, it's very useful, i would like to print the best recipes i can find on internet and maybe create a book with them, not an official book but only a book for my use. I've also cookbooks in other languages different from mine, like french, but it's not difficult to understand the ricepes.
