Cook the Book: 'What We Eat When We Eat Alone'
leftovers mostly. also, tuna with triscuits, or soup.
Cook the Book: '660 Curries' by Raghavan Iyer
at the end of the first semester my first year in college, my seminar professor took us all out to an Indian restaurant to celebrate. It was at a place called Pasand, which I remember being tasty (and different from anything I'd had before) but whose owner turned out to be running some kind of immigration scam.

Cook the Book: 'Tacos'
seafood tacos, with freshly fried fish, scallops and shrimp in a freshly fried taco shell, at a little place on the south side of Chicago. they closed less than a week later and promised to open elsewhere, but it's been over three years and I've heard nothing...
Cook the Book: 'Beyond the Great Wall'
not that remote, but rather foreign--when my brother and I went to Tokyo, we took the train from the airport. the train was very crowded, and an older lady got on board with bags of groceries. my brother silently gave up his seat for her, and she gave us some boxes of Japanese candy in thanks, though we couldn't quite figure out what she was saying because we don't understand Japanese. we also couldn't figure out what the candy actually was, because all the writing on the packaging was in Japanese....it was tasty, though.
Cook the Book: 'Kneadlessly Simple'
appropriately enough, the no-knead bread recipe from the New York Times. it smells great, tastes delicious, and got me to start buying yeast.
Cook the Book: The Essence of Chocolate
the first time I had hot chocolate that was homemade, not made from a foil pouch.
Cook the Book: 'Baking Unplugged'
I was making banana bread and accidentally used 1 tablespoon each of baking soda and salt, instead of 1 teaspoon each. I ended up with a frothing salty disaster in my oven.
Cook the Book: 'The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook'
almost anything with eggplant--eggplant parmesan, baba ghannoush, imam bayildi,...

Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
I received The Joy of cooking as a wedding present. garrettsambo@aol.com
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
my first cookbook was one i got from school...it was with all the students favorite recipes...
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
It was a Strawberry Shortcake cookbook that had recipes for sandwiches and other easy recipes.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
it's actually kind of sad. My freshman year of college I worked at the corporate HQ of Fanny Farmer candy shops and for our Xmas bonus we all got a copy of the new Fanny Farmer cookbook ..... so my first cookbook was the Fanny Farmer cookbook.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
Better Homes And Gardens, but I grew up with my mom's Betty Crocker cookbook.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My first cookbook was Betty Crocker's. It had all the basics and I still own it today.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
A collection of recipes that my mom made based on my observations
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My first cookbook was one from our church. I know, not top quality. I rarely turn to cookbooks as a new cook because of the vast information on the internet. I would enjoy having a few cookbooks in my collection, though.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My Mother in Law got me a 5 ingredient cookbook that had horrible recipes which basically combined 5 canned foods into one dish meals. Revolting.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
mom's ratty old Joy of Cooking!
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
The first cookbook that I ever received was a book of photocopied recipes my grandfather made for me of all the traditional Italian recipes that my great grandma used to make for her family. There are some wonderful recipes in there too. From homemade tortellini, to antipasto that has to sit jarred for a year before you can eat it (to let the flavors meld).
The sad bit is that I rarely use it because so many of the recipes are so labor intensive and large.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My now-husband bought me the New York Cookbook when I started college, which turned me on to so many of my favorites today!
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
When I was small, I used my mother's Betty Crocker cookbook. When I married, she gave me one of my own and I use it still, although a host of other cookbooks have joined it on the bookshelves.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My first cookbook was Betty Crocker's Cookbook that was a 5-ring binder.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My first cookbook was the Company's Coming Kids Cooking cookbook - Company's Coming is really big where I'm from (Alberta, Canada), but even when I venture to another province, no one's heard of it! I don't think I made too much from it... there was a pretty good fudgesicle recipe though :)
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My Mother gave me my first cookbook which was Betty Crocker's and I still have it today. I also gave one to my son when he moved out on his own. It's a great basic cookbook that anyone can use.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
We had the Better Homes and Gardens Cook Book growing. Plus a binder with tons of 3x5 cards neatly written by my mother and grandmother. My favorite was cooking from recipes on my mom's index cards.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
I remember looking through cookbooks, many of them, off the shelves when I was a kid. No one stands out.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
There was pretty much only one cookbook in the house growing up in my Chinese household (which my mother never cracked open) and it was the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook. The first recipe I ever made was probably tuna casserole one Thanksgiving when my sisters and I decided to do as the Americans do and add to our standard hot pot feast. How things have changed!
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My first cookbook was the Little House on the Prairie Cookbook. I didn't cook anything out of it, but it recreated the recipes from the books I loved.
Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
Unfortunately, I can not remember the name of the Cook Book Given. But I do know who gave it to me. My Aunt Sandra gave me the cook book for my Baby shower 24 years ago. She wished me a long and happy life. Aunt Sandra died 4 years ago..and although I cannot find the cookbook through many moves I do treasure the sentiment
