"it's easier to stay out than get out"
I love the Bon Appetit holiday cookbooks. They always have such neat (and usually complicated) stuff. I've sorta gotten out of my cooking habits, but for a loooooooong time I wanted to go to Johnson & Wales to be a chef. Then, I decided that I couldn't get up and cook for God only knows how many complete strangers every day. I'm happier cooking for family and friends. I usually go nuts around Christmas
BTW, Spider, you may wanna get this month's Bon Appetite. It had recipes from MooseWood in it.

Basically I like any cookbook for desserts!! I found a great one in a West Village bookshop that had a street sale. I also borrowed spider's Indian cookbook (my apologies for still having it).

"The more I know the less I understand"
I have a Southern Living Annual cookbook that, when I'm bored, will try one of the recipes of the month. And from time to time, I try one of the recipes from an Italian cookbook I picked up....something that uses anything other than ground beef or chicken.

One of my favorite restaurants is a vegetarian restaraunt in downtown New Haven's Yale area, called "Claire's" (I think it's offical name is "Claire's Corner-copia"). The owner released a cookbook a few years back, which should be available for purchase in any bookstore. Also, my friend's mom has a wonderful all-purpose cookbook simply entitled "How to cook everything"...so if you're in the market for one of those, I suggest you check it out!

KNSinatra: you lie.
monsieurjohn: no i don't. i don't know what they're doing here, but they're real.
forgot to mention that my brother got me a really great one for christmas: "the kripalu cook book - gourmet vegetarian recipes."
i've never heard of this one before but every recipe i've read so far sounds delicious. i'll post a few of them later if i have time
him and i love to cook together. only thing is, we live far away from each other and only get together a few times a year. he comes to my house usually and we make the most fabulous food creations - stuff that i would never normally think of :nod:
I am a cookbook fanatic!! I LOVE all cookbooks.
I have so many of them I couldn't possibly tell you a favorite. Although, the one I refer to most is 'The Treasury of Christmas'. It's got tons of recipes you can use all year round though.
I really like the Good Housekeeping Illustrated Cookbook. They have some complex things and some simple things. (Hell, they have a sammich section!) I really like specialty cookbooks, but this is the one I tend to use most.
Right now I have been assembling my own Cook "Binders" by printing out recipes form online sources like foodtv.com, and epicourious.com, etc. But I have a few nice books that I have bought. There is a series of cookbooks call 365 Ways to Cook... Whatever... chicken. chinese, Italian, Beef, BArbeques, Deserts, Soups, etc. They cover most anything and there is a different book for each one. They have great recipes in them.
I also bought an interesting looking food book by Emerill Lagasse, Everday's a Party. It has some neat recipes and it also is a neat read as it talks about all kinds of holidays and traditional celebrations.
well I rarely use them but sometimes I need help with specific dishes so I refer to The Professional Chef - The Culinary Institute of America's 7th edition and The Essential Kitchen
I will have to check out some of these resources. Mostly I use the TV and internet. (www.foodnetwork.com) and keep my own book of all my favorites. Hand written in a small notebook, not the best way to keep them but does ok for now. Once I start cooking more Ill get more higtech maybe! LOL
