Here are some of the cookbooks I find myself turning to again and again. Feel free to add yours!
The gift edition of Betty Crocker's New Cookbook is a handsome, boxed, spiral-bound version of this staple in American cooking. Recipes for heartland classics like Buffalo chicken wings, sour cream coffee cake, deviled eggs, Cincinnati chili, and meatloaf are joined by such international favorites as Steak au Poivre, enchiladas, spaetzle, gazpacho, and risotto.
Irma Rombauer collected recipes from friends for the first Joy of Cooking, and published it herself. For this sixth edition, the All New, All Purpose Joy of Cooking, Ethan Becker, grandson of Irma and son of Marion Rombauer Becker, worked with Maria Guarnaschelli, senior editor and vice president at Scribner's.
"The bible of American cooking by 'the king of gourmets'." (Time)"...his chef d'oeuvre...should take a place on the narrow shelf reserved for major American culinary literature." (Washington Post)"The beauty of this book is that it allows you . . . to experience firsthand what made James Beard special and unique.
Starred Review. Dornenberg and Page's follow up to their award-winning What to Drink With What You Eat certainly compliments its predecessor (part of the intent), but works equally well as a standalone reference for cooks of all skill levels.
