OOH, fun! I also read cookbooks like "novels", cover to cover! I have several faves:
Better Homes and Gardens New Cookbook (1989, I believe)
Taste of Home collection
Dad's Own Cookbook - a gift from my father one birthday, kind of Cooking for Dummies before they came out with that!
3 spiral-bound Campbell's cookbook recipes (with pictures, of course) that I sent away for with box tops or something when I was in college
Those are my staples, but I'm also very fond of my "Deceptively Delicious" cookbook by Jessica Seinfeld. I can't get my kids to eat veggies either, and there are some great recipes to sneak them into meals!

I have 3 that I have used over the years over and over.
Betty Crocker - from the 50's
Pot-luck for 33,000 - from Marshall Field's/Dayton/Hudson employees.
Family Circle Encyclopedia of Cooking
My old cookbooks and recipe cards had so many notes on the edges, they were starting to smear.
I use a computer program to keep the stuff I have liked or want to try. We have a second hand store a few blocks away and they sell cookbooks for a buck. I'll drop buy and pick one up, take it home and read it, copy what I want to try into the computer. Next time I go there I donate the book back and buy another.

Aww Mom....what a fun thread you've started! I like Jen enjoy "Taste of Home", though I just subscribe to the magazine. I too like Cin, read cookbooks, cooking magazines like novels! I think it's a love of cooking thing!m I'm sure "David" & "Scott" would qualify for this as well! My favorites that I go to time and again are actually recipe books from locals that I received as gifts. Here they are in no particular order. "A Book of Favorite Recipes" BY: The Women's Missionary Auxiliary-FBC-New Caney Texas 1968-1981 "Temple Baptist Church Recipe Book- Compiled: By The Youth of Tenple Baptist, Ruston Louisiana -1983 "Revel" By: Junior League-Shrevport Louisiana-1980 "Bay Leaves" Junior League -Panama City, Florida-1975 "Lady & Sons"...Savannah Country Cookbook-Paula H. Dean-1998 AND of course the entire collection of "Christmas with Southern Living" since my first year of marriage, 1982! These will go to my 2 daughters and daughter-in-love when I pass.  |

When my son took out his 7th grade home ec cookbook for the zillionth time.... I thought about my favorite cookbook. We all have one.. come on..admit it.. you didn't get rid of all of them when the internet came around.... Which is your favorite cookbook?
Mine is the good old Betty Crocker Cookbook that I got for a shower gift 25 years ago. It's not fancy shmancy... it's basic... and that's what I like about it... not complicated to use... never had a bad recipe from it.
Let's here your favorite!
