Cook the Book: 'Gourmet Today'

Like so many others, The Joy of Cooking was gifted to me as I moved out. It didn't always get a lot of use during those years (I knew the recipe for Kraft's Spirals 'n Cheese by heart though), but it was a good inspiration to have as I began to give a shit about cooking properly!

Cook the Book: 'L.A.'s Original Farmers Market Cookbook'

I spread my love around and will go with any vendor that is offering up tasty fruit! And unusual varieties of veggies are always appreciated too.

Cook the Book: 'Modern Spice'

I'm totally clueless on cooking Ethiopian food, so I'll go with that one.

Cook the Book: Eugenia Bone's 'Well-Preserved'

I would love some homemade spicy pickles that stayed crunchy and delicious.

Cook the Book: 'The Asian Grill'

Our grilling mishaps always involve, "Oh crap, what do you mean we're out of gas? And you were too lazy to go re-fill the TWO spare tanks after depleting those too? OK, well - I guess we could just broil these..."

Super-fresh mozzarella with anything else added (no raw tomatoes, please).

Cook the Book: 'Beyond the Great Wall'

Running around as evening came and stores closed, looking for some kind of weird yogurt-type beverage in a village in the Netherlands. Strange freedom.

Cook the Book: 'Food Matters: A Guide to Conscious Eating'

Like everyone else, apparently, eating less meat. Being open-minded and aware that sometimes the simplest solution is the best.

I'm not sure, but spicy chilaquiles sounds pretty darn good!

I've got a lot of favorites, but I guess I'll stick with roasted tomato & hot Italian sausage risotto!

Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway: Southside Market Sausage

I guess Redbone's in Somerville, MA because I can smell it from my apartment and anything that makes me want ribs at 8am is a good thing.

Cook the Book: 'How to Cook Everything, Revised Tenth Anniversary Edition'

I can't pick anything specific, but I appreciate his general attitude towards food and cooking. Serious, but not pretentious and cooked with care.

Weekend Book Giveaway: 'Asian Dining Rules'

I usually manage to not embarrass myself terribly, but during my first bibimbap experience, I didn't really get what to do with the sauce. So I left it on the side and this greatly confused my waitress when she came back at the end of the meal to find a full dish of sauce left. Oh well.

It was a Strawberry Shortcake cookbook that had recipes for sandwiches and other easy recipes.

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.

Better Homes And Gardens, but I grew up with my mom's Betty Crocker cookbook.

My first cookbook was Betty Crocker's. It had all the basics and I still own it 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.

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'

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.

My now-husband bought me the New York Cookbook when I started college, which turned me on to so many of my favorites 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.

My first cookbook was Betty Crocker's Cookbook that was a 5-ring binder.

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 :)

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.

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.

I remember looking through cookbooks, many of them, off the shelves when I was a kid. No one stands out.

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!

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.

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
