The Most-Stained Cookbooks

Oh - I've got three that really look like they've been through the mill - The Settlement Cookbook was the first cookbook my folks gave me when I got my first apartment 25, 30 years ago? Marcella Hazan's Classic Italian Cooking - the pasta pages are all stuck together, the veal picata is close to unreadable. Lastly, Marlene Sorosky's Holiday Cookbook - that sweet potato praline thing for Thanksgiving - mmmm

All the Hazan cookbooks (I have Marcella's Cucina, both Classic and the first one, her Italian Kitchen; Bugiali's comprehensive tome, Giuliano Hazan's wonderful pasta cookbook, James Beard's American Cooking, Olney's Simple French Cooking.

For me it's How To Cook Everything, The Essential Seafood Cookbook, and The Student's Vegetarian Cookbook.

I would have to go with either the first Barefoot Contessa Cookbook (her bbq sauce and her scones are always hits around here), Bold American Food by Bobby Flay (his sauces) and The Silver Palate Cookbook (their recipe for Spaghetti with Oil & Garlic has been used more than anything else in there). I just adore the flavor of the chicken broth in that recipe! So creative.

Definitely the Joy of Cooking...too bad about that binding that's falling apart!

The Most-Stained Cookbooks

Two cookbooks from Margaret Fox, the Cafe Beaujolais Cb and Morning Food are certainly among the worst-looking. I have bought multiple copies of each as gifts, and when I am sure they won't be returned for store credit, I copy my own notes on each recipe into them. The first two Silver Palates are also valuable, but I found nothing but disaster in the recipes I tried from New Basics so sent that one a-packing. I have three and a half tall bookcases full, plus more stacked nearby, and there are probably too many that I only use one recipe from. But some books are too much fun to re-read to send off to the Book Fair.
