Bangers & Mash, Shepperd's Pie, Meatloaf, Pork Chops, Beef Stew, Buccatini All' Amatriciana...in other words, I make and honest-to-goodness meat centered meal with all of the trimmings. And wine.

Dinner Tonight: Ricotta Pancakes with Lemon Curd
Resolution: FAIL! Though all New Year resolutions are already a thing of the past, I had at least decided that this week I would NOT stop off at the store on the way home to pick up this or that ingredient for dinner, but would only use what I have in the house - until this recipe! DAMMIT! Who always keeps ricotta on hand?!!? Very light and tasty pancakes; and the curd was far easier than I thougt it would be....thanks

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
