I have to say my absolute favourite cookbook is the Moosewood Cookbook by Mollie Katzen. It was published in 1977, a vegetarian cookbook to rival any. At the start of my interst in cooking I was vegetarian, and this book was a gift from a dear friend. I quickly fell in love, and started using the recipies for the backbone of many of my dishes. From the soups to the mains, they all have a very healthy and inspiring list of ingedients.

"Gypsy Soup" is one of my favourites. I just love the bohemian feel this book has and the simplicity of the recipies. If you have the chance take a look at it.

Thanks for starting this discussion I think I am gonna pull it out and make an old favourite.

Donna Hay’s books are great. Actually, I believe I’ve got them all!

My favourite cookbook is a toss-up between The French Laundry Cookbook by Thomas Keller, and Mario Batali’s Babbo Cookbook. TFL Cookbook is extremely advanced, so I don’t actually cook FROM it very often, but being that I’m so visually-driven, I really enjoy just leafing through the pages and staring at the gorgeous photography. The Babbo Cookbook on the other hand, is becoming mangled and disheveled due to the frequent flyer miles I afford it.

I’ve got about 200 cookbooks.

“Seasoned in the South: Recipes from Crook’s Corner and from home” By Bill Smith. Recipes are listed by season and some are quite exotic, but directions are VERY clear and surprisingly simple. http://www.crookscorner.com/smith.htm

“Mama Dip’s Kitchen” by Mildred Council. Her restaurant is a Chapel Hill institution and she is a real gem. Cookbook has great southern cooking…

“Foster’s Market Cookbook” Another Chapel Hill institution. Southern Gourmet. http://www.amazon.com/Fosters-Market-Cookbook-Favorite-Recipes/dp/0375505466

GIFTS FOR FOODIES: Okay, this isn’t a cookbook, but A Southern Season sells bunch of great cookbooks, foods, etc that are great gifts for cooks. Can you tell that I love Chapel Hill? – http://www.southernseason.com/

My favorite cookbook is the online one: www.epicurious.com. Everything is well ordered and the advanced search lets you pick a large variety of variables. Short prep & cook time are always appreciated :)

My favorite cookbook is “Everyday Italian” by Giada de Laurentiis. But I really like searching on www.foodnetwork.com for recipes by name (or I search by TV show) and I make a lot of Rachael Ray’s 30 Minute Meals or Giada’s Everyday Italian recipes….so easy to make new things all of the time.

I grew up with lots of my parents cooking from the More with Less Cookbook

It’s not always the most adventurous or exciting foods but it’s different because it was written to challenge North Americans to consume less so others around the world could eat enough.
