Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
My first cookbook was the Better Homes and Gardens Junior Cookbook, and my first "recipe" was waffles (of the frozen-variety) with peanut butter and chocolate chips. It's still a nostalgia food for me now.

Threadless T-Shirt Giveaway: Lemon Aid
I have to agree with Kalem: with vodka. Lime works too. Add some soda water, and I'm set.
Cook the Book: ''Wichcraft'
I thought I was going to be the only one to suggest a banh mi, but apparently not! A vegetarian version with tofu would be amazing.
Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'
Bittmann didn't really inspire many changes, per se, but by providing me with simple yet delicious recipes, has made me eat more regular meals instead of surviving off of trail mix and cereal.
Cook the Book: 'Kneadlessly Simple'
russian black bread
Cook the Book: 'Almost Meatless'
I just made up a batch of black bean burgers that are delicious! Stir-fry vegetables are another staple. A lot of chinese cooking is light on the meat, which is what I grew up eating. I definitely fall into the "almost meatless" category.
Cook the Book: 'The New Mediterranean Diet Cookbook'
hummus got me through college, so i'd have to say that.
Cook the Book: 'Into the Vietnamese Kitchen'
To eat more real meals, even if I'm tired. Trail mix and handfuls of cereal are not dinner.
Cook the Book: 'The Shun Lee Cookbook'
in beijing? A bowl of Lanzhou la mian with lots of Yanjing beer. Or if it's too hot for soup noodles, a big bowl of liang mian.
Win Fuchsia Dunlop's 'Shark's Fin and Sichuan Pepper'
now that I've left China after living there for a year, I have to say I really miss having liang pi all the time in this warm weather...
Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Trail of Crumbs'
Seems like carbs and chocolate are popular! Same for me. I tend to eat cereal out of the box, or make peanut butter sandwiches (on bread, matzah, crackers, any carb really...). Simple trail mix (chocolate, peanuts, raisins -- GORP)....basically anything that I can easily (mindlessly) pop in my mouth!
Cook the Book: Win a Copy of 'Cook with Jamie'
Mostly through trial and error, cookbooks, and TV shows. I have picked up a lot through hanging out with my dad while he cooks, and from my mom and grandma. However, I am mostly indebted (somewhat ashamedly) to the Food Network.
Cook the Book: 'The Perfect Scoop'
Oh man, how do I choose? I recently tried the Breyer's Reeses Peanut Butter Cup ice cream which was delicious. Then again, it's hard to go wrong with peanut butter and chocolate. Otherwise, it's between mint chocolate chip, mango sorbet, or rocky road.
Cook the Book: 'The Silver Palate Cookbook, 25th Anniversary Edition'
My first cookbook was also a children's cookbook. I don't recall the name, but I think it was put out by better homes and gardens. It opened up my eyes to the joys of waffles (or toast) smothered in peanut butter and sprinkled with chocolate chips! After I exhausted all the recipes in that book, I moved on to my mother's copy of Betty Crocker. This past christmas, she bought me my own copy.

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

The old-school Betty Crocker cookbook!

I own a ton of cookbooks, but my very first one was "The Montana Cookbook".
