Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'
my first cookbook was some kid's cooking cookbook; the only recipe i remember from it was pink meringue elephants that i think you could put a scoop of ice cream on.
my first REAL cookbook was the new basics cookbook by the silver palate folks - my mom got it for me for high school graduation, then she "took care of it" for me until i graduated college & had a kitchen of my own.

Cook the Book: Martha Stewart's Hors d'Oeuvres Handbook
practice thanksgiving - a month before i cooked my first family thanksgiving, i hosted practice thanksgiving for my friends, to make sure i knew what i was doing. we had fun & it turned out great; the apple pie turned out much better than the one i made for thanksgiving did...
Cook the Book: 'The Bon Appétit Fast Easy Fresh Cookbook'
chicken salsa rice - chunked up chicken & onions seasoned with whatever & sauteed up, mixed with some salsa & some rice from the rice cooker. topped with cheese, because cheese makes everything better.

can't it be both innovative AND unnatural?
Eating for Two: What to Eat While Pregnant
i am 200 years pregnant (ok, about 38.5 weeks, but it feels like 200 years), and "what to expect" scared me half to death. my doctor was much calmer. so i ate a lot of fruits & vegetables, and calcium (ok, cheese, i am a sucker for cheese) and protein rich foods, and when i wanted something less healthy (the occasional ice cream, or soda, or whatever), i didn't feel bad about it, since i didn't do it that often. of course, for the first 4 months or so, i was never hungry, and even when i did eat, the food, um, didn't exactly stay with me, so i ate whatever i could keep down (which tended to be healthier things). if anything, i worried that i wasn't gaining enough weight (a problem i never thought i would have...), but the dr wasn't worried - he said the baby was 'living off the land' ;)
at this point, i need to eat a snack (cheese, fruit, cheerios, a glass of milk) every couple of hours, and drink plenty of water in order to stay coherent, but my weight gain has been very reasonable, and the doctor says everything looks good with the baby, so we are just waiting...
If it's true "we are what we eat," what are you?

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
